DEATHS AS STAND FAILS
GIVAT ZEEV, Palestinian Territories: Two people were killed and dozens injured on Sunday when grandstand seating collapsed at a synagogue in the Israeli settlement of Givat Zeev in the occupied West Bank, Israeli authorities said.
The incident occurred outside Jerusalem “as hundreds were congregated” for the Jewish Shavuot feast, a Magen David Adom emergency services spokesman told Israeli channel Kan.
The structure was “under construction”, he said. Magen David Adom in a statement reported the “deaths of two injured, including a 40-year-old man and a 12-year-old boy”.
