More than ten others were later questioned with their parents present. The allegations have not been proven in court.<\/p>\n<p>Police warned that removing extinguishers can leave residents without vital first-response equipment during a fire. Parents were urged to discuss online challenges with their children, while building committees were asked to secure fire cabinets without restricting emergency access.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Source:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/90fm.co.il\/bakbvt-atgr-tyktvk-msvkn-15-bny-nvar-avkbv-lkhkyrh-bntnyh\/\" rel=\"noopener\">90FM, October 20, 2026<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><em>Illustrative photograph of a building corridor; not the incident scene.
