A 10-year-old boy sustained critical injuries in Beitar Illit on Thursday after a burning object struck him. The incident appears to have originated from a fire inside a garbage can, which seemingly led to an explosion. A burning piece of debris then flew from the can and hit the child, who was found unconscious with multi-system injuries. Emergency services, including police and firefighters, were dispatched to the scene. Medical teams treated the boy before transporting him to the hospital in a critical condition.
