JERUSALEM, Dec 2 (Reuters) - A massive brush fire in northern Israel killed at least 11 people on Thursday and injured dozens of others, an Israeli rescue service said.

Hundreds of people were evacuated from areas around the Carmel Forest, including dozens from a prison that houses Palestinan inmates. Israeli media reported that at least one bus carrying the prisoners got caught in the flames.
