Reports said a person who participated in a Lag Baomer bonfire in Rosh Ha'ayin, near Tel Aviv, poured gas over the fire, which consequently spread toward the victim, who burst into flames as the stunned crowd looked on.
The shocked man attempted to put out the fire by rolling in sand, but to no avail. A number of people on hand poured sand and water over him until the blaze was finally contained.
"When we arrived the man was lying in the sand, burned and squirming in agonizing pain," paramedic Ronen Lazar said. "We could tell he was suffering from burns to 50 percent of his body -- his chest, arms, back and face. We injected him with morphine to ease the pain, and after treating him on the spot we evacuated him in serious condition to Beilinson Hospital in Petah Tikva."
In another incident, a 30-year-old man and a 10-year-old girl were moderately burned in Ashdod when a man threw flammable material into a bonfire.
