Two children, aged two and four, killed in house fire near Beersheba

Two children were killed in a fire at their home in the Bedouin town of Tel Sheva near Beersheba on Sunday morning.

Two siblings, a two-year-old boy and a four-year-old girl, were evacuated from Magen David Adom first responders to Soroka Medical Center, but died shortly after arriving at the hospital.

The Israel Fire and Rescue Services conducted a search to ensure no other people were trapped in the building and began an investigation into the cause of the fire.
