In depth

A construction worker, about 30, was killed after a crane collapsed from a truck and fell on him in the Stock Exchange complex in Ramat Gan, on Menachem Begin Road. According to Arutz Sheva, the worker was seriously injured and trapped under the crane. Firefighters were dispatched to the scene and worked to free him. Magen David Adom crews who arrived at the scene performed resuscitation, but had to pronounce him dead at the site.

According to Kikar HaShabbat, the worker was taken to hospital in serious condition and died of his injuries. According to Ynet, the crane was a Turkish model that the Labor Ministry banned for use in 2025 and later re-approved following pressure from the importer; the Labor Ministry rejected the claims and called them baseless. The police and the Labor Ministry have opened an investigation into the circumstances of the accident.
