In the early hours of Saturday morning, a fire broke out in an eight-story residential building in Lod, Israel. Firefighters successfully contained the blaze to the first floor, preventing it from spreading further. Initial reports indicate that the fire was triggered by an electrical cabinet, which caused smoke to permeate the entire building. This prompted a swift response from rescue teams, who conducted searches and evacuated residents. A total of 18 individuals were rescued, including four infants and several elderly residents confined to wheelchairs. Emergency medical teams from Magen David Adom (MDA) treated 15 people for smoke inhalation and transported them to hospitals for observation. Fortunately, there were no reported fatalities. Authorities have announced that an investigation is underway to explore the circumstances surrounding the fire, aiming to prevent similar incidents in the future.
