MOSCOW (Sputnik) — The wildfires flared up in Israel earlier this week,
becoming the worst in the country's history since 2010.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu requested Russia's assistance in a
phone call with President Vladimir Putin in battling the fires.

On Friday, two EMERCOM aircraft started to extinguish wildfires in Israel.

The main task of the Russian crew is to protect the cities of Haifa, Galilee
and Carmel from fires. "Since the early morning, two aircraft have been
extinguishing fires in the vicinity of Haifa, where the situation was
improved shortly before, due to the interaction with the surface group…
However, the situation there remains difficult," the spokesman told
reporters.

The Beriev Be-200 is well suited to firefighting missions. It can take in up
to 12.5 metric tons of water in the space of a few seconds while traveling
over a body of water before dropping the load on the flames.
