Firefighters are working to identify the source of the leak and shut off the gas supply.

Separately, a leak of hazardous chemicals occurred from a container at the port of Haifa. Emergency services received a report around 1 a.m. and dispatched rescue and emergency crews. The leak originated from a large ISO Tank container belonging to the chemical company Haifa Chemicals. Environmental monitoring indicated low levels of hazardous substances in the air, confined to the immediate vicinity of the damaged tank.
This incident follows a previous gas leak at a pizza restaurant in Be'er Sheva, which resulted in one fatality and nine hospitalizations at Soroka Hospital. The cause was later confirmed by the fire department as a gas leak.
