Suspected arson in Ramat Gan leaves seven people injured, three sites affected, authorities say

Seven people were treated for smoke inhalation, and evacuated for medical attention with light injuries.

Three locations in the Ramat Gan region experienced fires, which authorities suspect to be acts of arson, according to Israel's Fire and Rescue Authority. Seven individuals were treated for smoke inhalation, sustaining minor injuries and requiring medical care. Police have initiated an investigation into the incidents, though they currently lack information about the perpetrators or their motives.

The arson accusation emerged just days after a separate incident in the West Bank, where Israeli settlers allegedly set fire to several Palestinian homes in the village of Tuba on Wednesday, as reported by the IDF on Thursday. Upon their arrival, police found charred buildings, graffiti, and damaged property. Six Palestinians were injured in the attack, including four children aged five, six, eight, and ten, along with a 35-year-old woman and a 22-year-old man, according to a Haaretz report.
