Edit: the Israeli authorities are denying the accusation, but then again, they lie constantly, so I’m not sure why they expect to be believed. For example, they admitted they were using an “air blower” to “fight the fire.” Does anyone know of an authorized use of an air blower for firefighting? According to the Jerusalem Post.
Independent reporting by The Press Service of Israel (TPS-IL) told a different story. A frame-by-frame review of video released by the Taybeh Municipality showed teenage Jewish farmhands sprinting toward the flames with a compressed-air blower – equipment used to contain, not ignite, brush fires.

When my grandfather was alive, he said that we should bomb Israel. I agree, Papaw, you were exactly right.
The 'support Israel' no matter what they do needs to stop. There is the genocide going on and the uptick in the persecution of Christians. Yes, the Israelites were once the chosen people. That covenant ended two thousand years ago.
You just have to google "fight brush fire with compressed air blower" and it will bring up videos about how to fight a brushfire with a leaf blower -- you are supposed to blow debris out of the way of the fire, but sure you could do the reverse also. "One of the main advantages of using a leaf blower to fight wildfires is that it can be an effective tool for creating firebreaks. Firebreaks are cleared strips of land that are designed to prevent the spread of fire by removing fuel sources, such as vegetation, leaves, and other combustible materials. Creating a firebreak is a crucial tactic in fighting wildfires, as it can help contain the fire and prevent it from spreading to other areas...While leaf blowers can be a useful tool for fighting wildfires, they are not without their limitations. One of the main limitations is that they are only effective for small fires. For larger fires, more powerful equipment, such as bulldozers, helicopters, and water lines, are needed to contain and extinguish the flames.
Another limitation of using a leaf blower is that it can be dangerous if not used properly. Leaf blowers can generate a lot of dust and debris, which can be hazardous to Firefighters and other people in the area. The blower has a tendency to blow up a lot of duff and debris, and under winding conditions, may cause the material to be blown all around you, starting additional spot fires behind you. Firefighters should always be aware of wind conditions and directions when using a leaf blower....Know your tools limitation. This tool is not meant to be used on a large direct fire attack, but there are some instances where a leaf blower may be helpful in controlling small fires. For example, if you are conducting controlled burns, a leaf blower can be used to help control the direction and intensity of the fire.
Pros:
1. Quick Response: One of the main advantages of using leaf blowers for fighting wildfires is that they can provide a quick response. Leaf blowers can be transported quickly and easily to the site of a fire, and can be used immediately to help clear away dry leaves, twigs, and other debris that could potentially fuel the flames.
2. It is very effective on small spreading grass fires, enabling the Firefighter to cover a larger area, quicker for a quick knockdown. Remember, this must be followed up by some sort of cold trailing technique.
3. Low Cost: Another benefit of using leaf blowers is that they are relatively inexpensive when compared to other firefighting equipment. This makes them a more affordable option for smaller communities or volunteer fire departments that may not have access to larger, more expensive firefighting tools.
4. Very effective in the mop-up stage of a fire. Use to blow smoldering debris back into the black or increase intensity of flame on small object to cause it to burn out faster.
Cons:
1. Limited Effectiveness: While leaf blowers can help clear away dry debris and other flammable materials, they are not particularly effective in fighting larger fires. They cannot extinguish large flames or prevent the spread of fire in the way that other firefighting tools, such as hoses or fire retardants, can.
2. Safety Risks: Using leaf blowers in the midst of a wildfire can be dangerous. The powerful gusts of air created by the leaf blower can fan the flames and make the fire more difficult to control. Duff and debris can be disturbed causing additional spreading hazard—watch behind and below you. Additionally, the use of gasoline-powered leaf blowers can increase the risk of fire due to the potential for fuel spills. Consider a larger battery-operated model.

Joogle helped you out?
There were reports of settler violence and continued attacks and intimidation against Christians in Tabiyeh. Yet experts assure us the reasons Jewish populations are increasing don’t have anything to do with intimidation and violence.
“The Christian community in Israel and the Palestinian territories has dwindled as a percentage of the overall population over the decades, with (((experts))) citing lower birthrates and emigration by people fleeing conflict or seeking better opportunities abroad. Christians now make up a tiny percentage of the population.”

Can’t understand why local Christians would be skeptical about Jewish firefighting capabilities. 😂
