“#Video shows deadly bleacher collapse in West Bank synagogue<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

Horrifying video shows the moment a bleacher collapsed at a synagogue in the West Bank, injuring more than 200 people and killing at least two \u2014 including a 12-year-old boy.<\/p>\n

The footage, posted on Twitter<\/a> by a Walla News<\/a> editor, shows the rear of the packed stands at the Givat Zeev temple giving way, and sending worshipers plummeting to the ground during the Shavuot service near Jerusalem.<\/p>\n

The video shows others falling forward and sliding down the bleachers, many then fleeing the collapsed structure.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I arrived there was a big commotion, people shouted and ran everywhere telling me that the bleachers had collapsed with dozens inside the synagogue,\u201d paramedic Moshe Tubolsky told the Jerusalem Post<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cA number of lightly wounded people were near the entrance and civilians led me to a severely wounded man who was lying on the floor nearby, unconscious and suffering from a head injury,\u201d Tubolsky said. <\/p>\n

The service was being held at the synagogue, although construction of the building was not complete and the owners did not have the proper permits, authorities said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis building is not finished,\u201d a spokesman for the Israel Fire and Rescue service told a local TV station. \u201cIt doesn\u2019t even have a permit for occupancy and therefore let alone holding events in it.\u201d<\/p>\n

In addition to the boy, who was not identified, a man in his 50s also died in the incident.<\/p>\n

The deadly collapse comes nearly three weeks after dozens were killed and more than 100 were injured in a stampede at a holy festival in Israel. <\/p>\n

The tragedy unfolded at the foot of Mount Meron during the annual Lag Ba-omer festivities when stands collapsed and prompted hundreds to try to flee to safety \u2014 only to have more than 40 people trampled to death. <\/p>\n

Several New York Metro area residents were among the dead.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
