EMS units were dispatched to a fire in factory on Carmel Street in the Kiryat Ata industrial area. EMS units from both MDA and United Hatzalah responded along with Haifa district firefighters.

MDA reports that paramedics transported a 25-year-old male in moderate condition with injuries to his extremities, apparently caused by a blast.

An eyewitness explains “We heard explosions and then we saw cans flying up in the hair and then emergency services began arriving”.
