According to the reports, large plumes of smoke from the blaze were visible from several kilometers away, causing air pollution as well as panic among local residents.

A spokesperson for the Israeli regime’s fire service said that the firefighting operation progressed slowly despite the deployment of several fire stations, as the blaze rapidly spread to surrounding areas. The incident consequently caused significant material damage to the area.

Technical experts have estimated that the main cause of the incident was an abnormal disruption in the region’s electricity distribution equipment. They also said specialists are working to identify the malfunction in the system and take the necessary measures to address it as quickly as possible.
