Dozens of security personnel, many from the Israel Prisons Service, are believed to have perished in the fire that has been raging on Mount Carmel since Thursday morning. Twenty two people were confirmed dead by 7:00 PM and 14 more bodies were reported found shortly after 10:00 PM. The total number of dead is estimated at 40.
36 out of the 40 victims were IPS cadets, most of them Druze, who were in their 20's. They were being transported on a bus after assisting in the evacuation of the Damon Prison.
At a certain point the fire began spreading at great speed – covering a mile in five minutes, according to a firefighting officer – and the bus was caught in the flames with no chance of getting out.
