A man in his 30s and his toddler daughter die after a fire breaks out at their home in the northern town of Beit She’an, rescue workers and medics say.
Medics attempted to resuscitate the two, who were suffering severe smoke inhalation, but were later forced to declare them dead.
Five other people are lightly hurt in the apartment blaze, also from breathing smoke, and are treated at the scene, the Magen David Adom rescue service says.
