A fire broke out in Netivot this morning, the Fire and Rescue Service says, consuming a haphazard building that served as a synagogue in the southern city.
Firefighting crews extinguished the fire and prevented its spread to adjacent buildings, but the structure, appearing to be constructed from tarpaulin, was destroyed entirely.
No injuries are reported in the incident. The circumstances of the fire remain unclear.
