One of the individuals injured in a significant explosion at the Intel factory in Kiryat Gat has died, authorities confirmed on Wednesday. The blast occurred earlier in the day, resulting in three individuals sustaining serious injuries. They were transported to Soroka Hospital, where one was reported in critical condition and the other two in serious condition. Emergency medical services stated that two of the injured required resuscitation efforts.
The police suspect the incident was caused by a gas cylinder explosion. Fire and Rescue Services reported that the subsequent fire, which has since been extinguished, involved nitrogen trifluoride (NF₃). This gas is non-flammable but is toxic and dangerous if inhaled.
