United Hatzalah officials on Tuesday condemned the arson attack on its COVID-19 testing station in Bnei Brak perpetrated the day before, calling it "unacceptable" and "deeply saddening."
The station was burned down shortly after 10 p.m. on Monday evening, causing material damage but no casualties.

Effi Feldman, head of United Hatzalah's Bnei Brak chapter, said that while everyone was entitled to their beliefs, "burning down a corona testing station, or any other act of violence, is unacceptable. Aside from the destruction caused, which came at no small cost to an organization 100 percent supported by donations, these extremists are preventing other people who wish to get tested from doing so, and that, too, is unacceptable."
The destroyed equipment, he said, would be replaced as soon as possible.
