Fire and rescue teams were sent to Intel’s factory in Kiryat Gat, southern Israel, after workers detected hazardous materials at the facility. The site was the location of an explosion last week that resulted in multiple casualties, including a second worker who later died from his injuries.
Authorities said emergency personnel were at the factory to handle the incident. Officials described the situation as confined to the site and said it posed no threat to residents in the surrounding area.
