Israel – Firefighters rescued dozens of people, including a mother and her week-old baby, from a burning apartment building Thursday in the Tel Aviv suburb of Pesach Tikva.
The blaze erupted on an upper floor of the eight-story building. As flames and smoke leaped from the structure, police and firefighters used a crane to extract residents from the top floors. Hospitals treated 45 people, including four police officers, most of them smoke inhalation. Two were in serious condition.
