Dozens are feared dead after a multi-storey car park in Tel Aviv collapsed on construction workers today.
Police say at least six people injured have been injured, while its not clear how many more could have been killed or remain trapped.
Witnesses described what felt like an “earthquake” when floors of the building pancaked onto one another, while footage showed dust billowing up into the air moments after the disaster.
The Israeli military said it was dispatching search-and-rescue forces to assist in the efforts.
The incident occurred at a construction site in Ramat Hahayil, a commercial area in northern Tel Aviv home to many high-tech businesses, restaurants and a hospital.
United Hatzalah medical service said “firefighters and rescue teams are working to extricate” those missing.
A medic said: “It appeared to me that the roof of a parking garage had collapsed in the building site.
“While members of our ambu-cycle unit who arrived first on scene were treating the injured, reports came in of other people who were unaccounted for and likely still trapped inside.”
