Fire near Microsoft offices in Be '%er Sheva, southern Israel five injured

Great fire has erupted near the Microsoft company's offices in the town of Beyer Sheva in southern Israel, causing significant damage to residential buildings in the area, Periscopi explains.

Firefighters and rescue teams are on the scene and are working to control the flames and help the wounded. According to emergency Israeli services, five people have been injured and transported to the hospital for medical treatment.

The attack has allegedly been part of another Iran-side effort to hit the Gav-Yam technology park, an advanced technological centre that houses of several major international companies are located. Iranian officials had declared a day earlier that this park was their target, but the missiles had hit the nearby Soroca hospital.

Israeli authorities are investigating the event and are in a position to prevent possible further attacks. / BBC
