"Prime Ministers of Greece and Croatia answered immediately to the request and sent planes and crew members as soon as possible. Also, the Russian government has updated us that it would soon send us a big plane to battle fire," Netanyahu wrote on Facebook.
Netanyahu warned on Wednesday that fires could expand on Thursday as strong winds are expected overnight.
