Iranian officials received an order to evacuate a nearby factory as firefighting forces continued to battle the flames.

All of the items are developed in accordance with official operational requirements from the IDF.

Knesset Health Committee chairman Yonatan Mashriki said: “It is our duty to proactively initiate emotional care for rescuers who have suffered great pain and anxiety."

Civil defense sources said parts of the building had collapsed in the fire.

A swift operation was then initiated, employing specialized equipment to ensure the safe retrieval of the stranded hikers.

Firefighters are still trying to figure out what began the blaze.

The fire ripped through a large events hall in the north-eastern region after fireworks were lit during the celebration, local civil defense said, according to state media.

Firefighters and emergency vehicles were at the scene, while bodies lay covered in emergency blankets on a street near the site of the early morning blaze.

After the first explosion, the fire spread to two fuel tanks and a nearby house, leading authorities to evacuate everyone within a radius of 700 meters.

The evacuation order was subsequently lifted after firefighters stopped the forward movement of the fire.
