The order comes out of fear of forest fires and more as Israel is suffering through its worst heatwave in a century.
The fire ban order applies to all of Israel, except for the area south of Highway 25 (the road connecting the Arava-Dimona-Beer Sheva-Netivot intersection), and prohibits the lighting of fires in open areas.
