TWO bushfires are threatening homes in northern NSW, and the Rural Fire Service (RFS) has mobilised at least 15 trucks and an aircraft to battle the blazes.

AN emergency warning has been issued for a five-hectare bushfire at Yamba in the state's northeast.

At least 10 trucks are being used to bring it under control, and the RFS has warned the fire is approaching the Yamba Waters Caravan Park.It was unclear how many homes were under threat, an RFS spokesman told AAP on Saturday afternoon.Further south at Kremnos, crews are protecting properties from a smaller out-of-control fire."They are seeing some windy conditions up there at the moment," the spokesman said."At Kremnos there would be more than five trucks plus an aircraft working that one."Strong winds are expected to continue through Saturday afternoon, but the RFS is hoping for cooler conditions on Sunday."The message for people in both those areas is to seek shelter as the fire approaches," the spokesman said.Earlier on Saturday, police arrested a 16-year-old boy who is accused of deliberately lighting a fire that burnt through scrubland and came close to a shopping centre and homes near Killarney Vale on the Central Coast.Elsewhere, watch-and-act alerts have been issued for an out-of-control blaze that has burnt through a hectare of bush north of Grafton and two small grassfires south of the town.

THREE Israeli teenagers, one of them also a US citizen, have been kidnapped in the occupied West Bank, presumably by Palestinians, the army says.

THE three, all students at a Jewish seminary, went missing late on Thursday while hitchhiking between Bethlehem and Hebron.

"We believe that they have indeed been kidnapped by presumed Palestinians," a senior officer told journalists on Saturday, without giving further details.He said the search was being carried out in co-ordination with security forces from the Palestinian Authority, and that "tens of Palestinians" had been arrested in the process.He added that substantial reinforcements had been brought in, including special forces and an airborne brigade, to participate in the search around Hebron, in the southern West Bank.Asked if it was thought they had been kidnapped to hold as hostages in exchange for Palestinian prisoners held by Israel, he said the army was studying all scenarios.Military radio, quoting other officers, said without elaborating "certain progress" had been made in the search.
