IDF still searching for 3 people in Tel Aviv garage collapse

Soldiers from the IDF’s Home Front Command is still searching for three people missing in the rubble of yesterday’s deadly collapse of a four-story garage in Tel Aviv.

“The location efforts are being conducted along the edges of the building, based on the assumption that the workers who were in there as the building collapsed ran to the sides to take shelter,” the deputy commander of the Home Front Command, Lt. Col. Yonatan Raz, tells the Walla website.

Raz says that the search has also involved speaking to those who were in contact with the missing, in the hope of working out more precisely where they were most likely to have been when the building collapsed.
