An additional four people were lightly
wounded by smoke inhalation, and all seven have been evacuated to Ichilov and Tel
Hashomer hospitals in central Israel.
The National Fire Department
spokesman said that a total of five fire teams worked to battle the blaze, and
that by 8 p.m. they had established control of the fire.

still unclear what started the fire, which broke out in the spa at the Arena
mall. An investigation has been opened into the incident, the fire department
said.
