A fire broke out overnight at a nursing home in Bnei Brak, resulting in 24 injuries. Six residents were rescued by firefighters from the building, which is an eight-story structure. The blaze reportedly started in an apartment on the first floor. Approximately 40 residents were evacuated from the facility. Among the injured, two men, aged 65 and around 80, are in serious condition. Two women in their 70s and two men in their 50s and 80s sustained moderate injuries, while the rest had minor injuries. Paramedics treated the injured at the scene, including the two critically wounded men who suffered severe burns to their upper bodies and were placed on ventilators.
