A section of an unoccupied, three-story building undergoing renovation collapsed Wednesday morning on Nachalat Binyamin Street at the corner of Ahad Ha'am in Tel Aviv. Emergency services reported no injuries, noting that five workers managed to exit the structure before it gave way. The circumstances leading to the collapse are currently under investigation. In response, authorities decided to evacuate dozens of residents from three adjacent buildings. Rescue forces, including firefighters, were dispatched to the scene to conduct thorough searches and ensure no one was trapped. Police also confirmed no casualties were reported.
Dramatic footage captured the moment of the collapse, showing bystanders, including someone seated on a nearby bench, narrowly escaping harm. Another video depicted a bus enveloped in a large cloud of dust following the incident. Oren, the owner of a nearby falafel shop, described emerging to find a massive dust cloud, initially mistaking the event for construction work. He expressed relief upon seeing the workers had safely evacuated.
Simanduyev, manager of MDA's Tel Aviv station and a paramedic, stated that emergency services received the report around 9:30 AM and arrived with substantial forces. He confirmed that fortunately, there were no injuries. The Tel Aviv-Yafo Municipality advised the public to avoid the Nachalat Binyamin area, issuing a statement that the building at 63 Nachalat Binyamin was slated for demolition and that city officials were on-site with rescue and security forces continuing search operations.
