Storm in Ashkelon, March 14, 2023 (Edi Israel)
A crane collapsed tonight (Tuesday) at a pier at a power plant south of Ashkelon.
As a result of the collapse, contact was lost with two people, who apparently fell into the water.
Police forces, including the maritime police unit and other rescue forces, rescued one of the missing persons while he is in a minor condition and continue to search for the other missing person.
In the afternoon, a light drizzle began to fall throughout the country.
During the night the rain began to intensify and gradually spread to the rest of the country.
Tomorrow rain will continue to fall in most parts of the country, accompanied by thunderstorms and lightning.
There is a heavy fear of flooding in the southern and eastern streams.
About a month ago, during the storm "Barbara" that hit the country, an 11-year-old boy was seriously injured by a tree that fell on him in Tel Mond near Netanya.
The Ihud and Rescue team gave him medical treatment and evacuated him to Beilinson Hospital in Petah Tikva, while he is sedated and ventilated.
