Magen David Adom paramedics said they treated four people injured in a fire in Tayibe on Friday morning, with three of them unconscious — three children and a woman in her 30s — after inhaling thick smoke. The paramedics described seeing 'black and thick smoke rising from a house' and being assisted by bystanders who had already pulled the victims out.
At 09:41 Jerusalem, MDA paramedics described the scene of the Tayibe house fire, confirming that three children and a woman in her 30s were rescued from the blaze, with three of them unconscious from smoke inhalation. The paramedics reported seeing 'black and thick smoke rising from a house' and were assisted by bystanders who had already pulled the victims out before their arrival. This is the latest account in a series of reports Friday morning.
The Zioneer first reported the fire at 09:00, citing fire crews rescuing three children from a burning building, with concern for additional trapped individuals. Minutes later, MDA reported four injured — three in serious condition, including two children and a 30-year-old woman, and one in moderate condition. By 09:39, The Zioneer had identified the victims as a 7-year-old girl, a 7-year-old boy, and a 30-year-old woman in serious condition, and a 5-year-old boy in moderate condition. The paramedic statement now provides on-scene details.
The fire in Tayibe comes amid a series of residential fires reported by The Zioneer in recent weeks. On Thursday, June 18, a fire in Netanya injured 14 people, including a mother and two children in moderate condition. On Monday, June 15, a fire in Jatt left four people with smoke inhalation.
The cause of the Tayibe fire remains under investigation. No update has been provided on the condition of the hospitalized victims beyond the initial reports.
