A tragic fire broke out early Tuesday morning in a building on HaOrgim Street in Holon, resulting in the death of a woman in her 40s. The fire started at 6:09 a.m., prompting emergency calls to Magen David Adom's 101 hotline in the Ayalon area. Firefighters and rescue teams quickly arrived at the scene, confronting heavy smoke and flames.
