The fire in Mount Carmel, Israel, is now thought to have been started because a group of youths were smoking nargila (hooka) in the area and when they were finished, threw the still-lit coals out onto the ground, which ignited the fire. With such a dry winter season, the forest was susceptible to fires, and indeed there have been many minor fires through the country's forests in the last few months.

Originally, it was thought that a man burning garbage was the reason behind the fire.
