An initial assessment by firefighters suggests that a fire in a recycling bin in Beitar Illit may have started due to children playing. During their game, they reportedly ignited the bin and threw a container inside, which may have exploded due to the fire. As a result of the explosion, a burning object was ejected from the bin and struck a child who was leaving the Talmud Torah school on Nadborna Street. Firefighters explained that in waste fires, they sometimes encounter aerosol cans exploding from the heat, but emphasized that it is too early to determine if this was the cause in the current incident.
