The news agency "Palestine Today" quoted the municipality of Al-Bireh, saying: The gas bombs fired by the enemy forces during their storming of the city at dawn, caused a large fire in Hisba and the Al-Bireh commercial complex.
The acting mayor of Al-Bireh, Robin Al-Khatib, said in a press statement that the fire spread to more than 100 shops in the Al-Bireh complex, destroying about 100 vegetable and fruit rugs, clothes, shoes, sweets, household appliances and others.

Ten fire trucks, reinforced by the Jerusalem and Salfit governorates, with a force of 60 firefighters, in addition to the support of partners in the police, national security and the municipality, worked to control and prevent the fire from spreading to neighboring commercial complexes.
The report added that the fire site officer confirmed that the control of the fires after three hours of work amounted to more than 80 percent. He stressed that work needs additional hours and may continue beyond noon hours today.
