Reports said multiple explosions and fires have erupted in industrial areas across central Israel, including Segula, Hod Hasharon, Tayibe, Ness Ziona, and Ra’anana.
The most recent case involved a large blaze in the industrial zone of Moshav Matzliah, which inflicted heavy damage and forced the closure of several facilities.
A spokesman for the Israeli fire department admitted the fire was so extensive that thick black smoke and flames were visible from kilometers away.
He said firefighting operations lasted for hours, resulting in significant material losses.
According to experts cited in Hebrew media, the initial cause was a mysterious malfunction in the equipment of one facility, which rapidly spread the fire throughout the area.
