Rescuers in Bnei Brak say two workers were seriously injured at a construction site after becoming trapped beneath a sand pit.
The Magen David Adom emergency service says a mound of sand collapsed on the workers; according to United Hatzalah, the accident occurred when a concrete sewer pipe fell on them.
One of the workers is said to be unresponsive, while the second is reported to be in moderate condition.
Pictures show crews attempting to dig them out of a pit where large sewer pipes are being installed, including one piece still attached to a crane.
