Two women who were exposed to hazardous material at a refinery in Ashdod have died, Magen David Adom says after trying and failing to resuscitate them.
The pair, both employees at the factory in their 50s, were found unconscious in critical condition.
According to Hebrew media, the workers had been wearing defective hazmat suits that allowed the substance to permeate.
