A fire broke out on Friday evening in an industrial hangar containing plastic and packaging products in Rishon Lezion. The roof of the building collapsed as a result of the fire. 16 brigades of firefighters were called to the scene and worked in three different areas, trying to prevent the fire from spreading to nearby buildings, including a printing house. There were no reports of injuries. Thick smoke was seen at the scene, and the smell of burning was felt throughout the Gush Dan region.
