A fire in central Israel's Ben Shemen Forest was brought under control after causing road closures on Highways 1 and 6, according to the Israel Fire and Rescue Authority.
A Magen David Adom spokesperson said later on Tuesday that no injuries have been reported, though MDA teams are on scene ready to provide medical treatment where required.
Highway 1 and Highway 6 have since reopened to traffic, the Israel Police said later on Tuesday, with officers on scene to direct vehicles in the area.
Despite the lifting of road closures, police have asked drivers to avoid the area if possible as traffic congestion continues.
21 firefighting crews and four aircraft are still battling the open-air fire, which broke out earlier on Tuesday, Israel Fire and Rescue said.
Highway 1 was also closed briefly in the eastbound direction on Monday after a vehicle caught fire near Shoresh Interchange outside Jerusalem, causing no injuries.
Warmer temperatures contributing to greater fire danger
Increases in global temperatures have led to the recent rise in both the scale and intensity of forest fires.
The National Security Ministry, the Israel Innovation Authority, IAI, Technion, and the Israel Fire and Rescue Authority have responded to the crisis through a collaborative effort to find a solution for identifying fires as quickly as possible, potentially within moments following their ignition.
