Army says death toll in garage collapse remains at 3

The IDF’s spokesman’s unit denies a report by the Associated Press that the death toll in the collapsed Tel Aviv garage has risen to four.

The AP reported earlier today that the army said the death toll had risen to four, though the report also said three remained trapped in the rubble.

According to the army, three people were confirmed killed in the Monday collapse and three more workers remain buried under the garage, amid dwindling hope that hundreds of rescuers digging through the site will pull them out alive.
