An unoccupied building undergoing renovation collapsed Wednesday morning in Tel Aviv at the corner of Nahalat Binyamin and Rothschild streets. Three workers who were trapped inside were rescued unharmed, and rescue forces searched the site to ensure no one else was trapped under the rubble. The collapse led to traffic closures at several intersections, including Herzl-Ahad Ha'am, Nahalat Binyamin-Montefiore, and Rothschild-Nahalat Binyamin. Tal, the owner of a nearby falafel shop called "Sabich HaSharon," described hearing a loud "boom" followed by a dust cloud. He stated that workers had been reinforcing the building's foundations for about a month, and that the collapse occurred around 9:30 AM, shortly after some workers had left the premises.
