A terrible tragedy occurred on Tuesday afternoon when a wall collapsed on top of a bochur in his 20s in a bochurim apartment near Yeshivas Mir in the Beis Yisrael neighborhood of Jerusalem.
Workers were working at a construction site next to the apartment, pouring concrete, and the wall suddenly collapsed on top of the bochur’s bed. He was critically injured and after a doctor and paramedics carried out resuscitation techniques, he was evacuated to the hospital, where unfortunately they could do nothing but declare his death.
The bochur was later identified as Itzik Steinberger, z’l, 25, a resident of Bnei Brak and a talmid of a yeshiva in Nachlaot and of Silber yeshivah in the past.
Neighbors said that in recent months, many complaints were filed at the Jerusalem municipality about illegal construction taking place at the site.
Israel Police has launched an investigation into the circumstances of the tragic accident and several workers were arrested.

The Israeli police should have been busy supervising these construction sites BEFORE this tragedy, rather than wasting time & resources on a 12 year old girl lowering her face mask momentarily to sip some water, and rather than wasting their time bringing Bibi up on bogus charges of some meaninglessness whiskey bottles thereby distracting him from managing a major war.
due to concerns of mesira I know many people would NOT inform the authorities of a situation like this, believing that the One Above controls what happens.
Wow sooo sad b.d.e. does anyone know which dira is that in bai’s yisroel? It looks familiar I can’t pin point it ? Is it on habesht?
My first question:
Where those construction workers from Gaza or East Jerusalem?

Maybe we should start to employ Ukrainian workers or from Thailand. These workers are already living in Israel. Offer them a job. They are definitely better than Hamas and the friends of Hamas.
Illegal construction. Can we elaborate? Was this a charedi cost-cutting measure for bochrim that ignored the sane safety laws??
Don’t think it’s habesht
As for BIBI, the many bribery charges against him, which are not meaningless, were brought up way before the war, and some say this war serves his interest in holding on to his seat as PM…
BTW:The third photo is from another tragedy in Petach Tikva.
