A fire raged for approximately ten hours at an underground parking lot within the Big Shopping Center complex in Petah Tikva, starting late Saturday afternoon and continuing into early Sunday.

No injuries were reported as the incident occurred over Shabbat, meaning no construction workers were on site. Authorities closed roads and advised the public to avoid the area.
