6 Palestinians lightly injured at building site accident in Beitar Illit

The Magen David Adom emergency rescue service says 6 Palestinian workers sustained light to moderate injuries when a scaffolding collapsed at a construction site in Beitar Illit.

One worker is taken to the Hadassah Medical Center in Ein Kerem, and the other 5 are taken by Palestinian Red Crescent ambulance service to medical centers in the West Bank.

MDA says the incident appears to have occurred when a ceiling at the building site collapsed.

Firefighting crews are combing the debris for any additional casualties.
