Two children aged four and six were killed in a fire that broke out early Friday morning in a private home in the Israeli Arab city of Kafr Qasim, located about 20 kilometers east of Tel Aviv.

The children were pronounced dead at the scene by a team of Magen David Adom paramedics.

The paramedics also treated a man, a woman and a one-year-old baby who suffered light injuries as a result of smoke inhalation and evacuate them to the Schneider and Beilinson Hospitals.

Firefighters were able to extinguish the flames. It is believed the fire started in a bedroom on the second floor of the building.
