  "summary": "A fire broke out in a nursing home in Bnei Brak, injuring 24 people. Two men, aged around 70 and 80, were seriously injured and are in unstable condition, sedated and on ventilators, with burns to their upper bodies. According to the Jerusalem Post, four others sustained moderate injuries and 18 had minor injuries.\n\nThe fire started in an apartment on the first floor of the eight-story building. About 40 residents were evacuated, including those trapped in the burning apartment. Firefighters worked to extinguish the fire and conducted extensive searches for anyone trapped.\n\nInvestigators believe that smoking near an oxygen system may have triggered the rapidly spreading fire, according to Arutz Sheva - Israel National News.
