Comprehensive scans conducted by emergency teams have confirmed that no residual hazard values remain from the chlorine vapor leak on Dudu Dotan Street in Netanya, according to reports. The all-clear stands as of 10:10 Jerusalem, following the earlier lifting of the shelter-in-place directive at 09:50 Jerusalem, as The Zioneer reported at that time.
The incident was first reported at 09:21 Jerusalem, ynet and other Israeli media said, when residents of an 18-story building were ordered to shelter in place after a suspected hazardous material leak. Over the following minutes, firefighters identified the source as an open tank in the machine room, and one person was evacuated in mild condition before emergency crews arrived. The shelter-in-place order was lifted at 09:50 Jerusalem, and the incident was declared over. The current update adds that comprehensive scans have now confirmed the absence of any residual hazard.
As The Zioneer reported on Thursday, multiple Israeli news outlets corroborated the initial reports, with Channel 12, ynet, and other sources providing details on the cause and response. The Home Front Command was not involved in this incident, which was handled by local fire and rescue services.
No injuries have been reported throughout the incident, and no further hazards are anticipated. The cause of the leak remains as initially identified: an open tank in the building's machine room.
