A 12-year-old girl from Netanya was tracked down after being filmed spraying a fire extinguisher on the roof of a commercial building in the city as part of a dangerous TikTok challenge, Orna News reported on 12 November 2026.<\/p>\n
The moment was caught on security cameras. To speed up the search, the motorcycle unit of Netanya municipality’s enforcement administration joined in. The street and building were not named.<\/p>\n
Once found, the girl and her mother were summoned to the municipal enforcement offices and fined several hundred shekels. They were also required to report to the city’s police station the following day; the reason was not specified.<\/p>\n
The challenge began spreading among Israeli teenagers a few weeks ago: youngsters take emergency fire extinguishers from buildings and spray them at buildings and cars, a growing concern for enforcement authorities and building committees. About two weeks earlier, other teenagers were filmed spraying extinguishers in a Netanya residential neighbourhood; they too were found, detained and fined.<\/p>\n
An extinguisher in a stairwell is emergency equipment. Once emptied for a video, it will not be there when residents actually need it. The powder irritates the eyes and airways, and the cylinder is under pressure. Parents may want to talk to their children about how such challenges end \u2014 with fines, a police summons and real risk \u2014 and building committees should check from time to time that extinguishers are in place and charged.<\/p>\n
