Israel: Rescue bid in Tel Aviv after car park collapses | |
(35 minutes later) | |
A rescue operation is under way in the Israeli city of Tel Aviv after a car park under construction collapsed, with fears people are trapped inside. | |
Eighteen people have been treated for injuries. At least three people are believed to be missing. | |
Reports say an initial collapse caused a crane to fall, bringing down the rest of the multi-storey building. | |
The incident happened in Ramat Hahayil, a commercial area in the city's north, home to many high-tech businesses. | |
Pictures from the scene show clouds of dust rising from a huge crater, with large amounts of debris at the bottom. | |
Dozens of firefighters, rescue and security services went to the site to search for people believed to be trapped under the rubble. | |
Israel's Haaretz newspaper quoted a fire service spokesman as saying there were "people buried beneath the sand". |
