An explosion at an Intel factory in Kiryat Gat on Wednesday resulted in several people being seriously injured, according to Magen David Adom. At least three individuals suffered significant injuries in the incident, the MDA reported. The Israel Fire and Rescue Authority (IFRA) indicated that hazardous chemicals may have leaked due to the explosion, and they are actively working to identify the source of the chemicals and extinguish the resulting fire.
The Israel Police suspect that the explosion was caused by the detonation of a gas cylinder, but they have ruled out any involvement of hostile terrorist activity. Police and emergency rescue services are in place to ensure the safety of civilians and maintain public order at the scene. Intel's Kiryat Gat facility, also known as FAB 28, specializes in manufacturing semiconductor chips.
