According to IDF officials, Israeli firefighters in Shomron on Monday refused to enter a PA (Palestinian Authority) autonomous area to extinguish a blaze. They reportedly stated they are not on call to combat blazes in PA areas, areas which are off-limits to Israeli citizens.
The nation’s fire services spokesman denied the accuracy of the report, explaining the fire fighting team was waiting for a security escort prior to entering the PA area.
IDF officials reject the explanation, stating soldiers were present, on the scene next to the firefighters the entire time.

don’t blame them for not wanting to go into that area.
nice, let them all burn!
Here’s an idea: They want their own country, how about they start by fighting their own fires?
