A resident of Bnei Brak, approximately 30 years old, has been indicted for allegedly setting fire to an occupied apartment building with the intent to harm its residents. The blaze forced residents to flee their homes in panic and caused extensive damage to multiple apartments.
He allegedly poured flammable material near a storage shed in the building's courtyard, ignited it, and fled.
The fire rapidly spread from the courtyard upwards, reaching the balconies of apartments on the upper floors and causing severe damage. Three apartments were significantly damaged, balconies caught fire, and parts of a roof canopy collapsed due to the flames.
Prosecutors assert that the arson was not accidental but a premeditated act intended to endanger the building's occupants. The motive behind the alleged arson remains undisclosed, despite the severity of the charges and the substantial property damage.
