Four workers were killed on Sunday after a crane collapsed at a construction site in the city of Yavne in central Israel, Trend reports citing Xinhua.

Three of the workers who were on the ground were killed by crane parts falling, and another worker was trapped on the crane at a height of about 30 meters. The collapsed crane was in dismantling process.

On the same construction site, where two residential buildings are being built, a 31-year-old truck driver was electrocuted last April.

Since the beginning of 2018, 58 workers have been killed in construction sites in Israel, and 20 of which were killed in 2019. Since the beginning of the year, a total of 62 workers have been seriously or moderately injured.
