A building under construction collapsed Wednesday morning on Nahalat Binyamin Street in Tel Aviv. Footage from the scene shows parts of the structure that gave way, large piles of debris, and concrete fragments and steel rebar scattered across the area. Rescue teams rushed to the site have pulled three people from the rubble so far, and searches are continuing amid fears of additional victims trapped inside.
According to Israel Fire and Rescue Services, multiple reports of the building collapse came into the 102 emergency hotline around 9:40 a.m. Preliminary information indicates the building was unoccupied and under construction, and that those trapped at the site are likely construction workers.
