Israel - Two people have died and 17 others have been injured after a building collapsed in the Israeli city of Tel Aviv.
Police say four others are missing and are thought to be trapped under the debris.
Police spokeswoman Luba Samri said communication had been established with two of those trapped.
Rescue teams have been using search dogs as they dig through the rubble.
The Israeli military has dispatched search and rescue forces to assist the emergency services.
A fire official, Lior Teherani, told Channel 10 TV that it began when an underground multi-level car park which was under construction collapsed.
That movement caused a crane to fall down, taking more of the building with it.
A construction worker, Micha, said he was in the garage underground when he began to feel vibrations.
"All of a sudden everything collapsed," he told Channel 10 TV.
"It was scary. You feel like everything is going to collapse, and you are going with it."
Despite being blown backwards by the blast, he suffered only light injuries.
An investigation into the precise cause of the collapse has begun.
It happened on a site in Ramat Hachayal, a commercial area in northern Tel Aviv comprising high-tech businesses, restaurants and a hospital.
