An apartment building in the Tel Aviv suburb of Holon collapsed on Sunday, a day after its residents were evacuated over fears of imminent collapse.

The building gave way on its own, reflecting how close the situation had been to becoming a mass-casualty disaster resembling the collapse in June of a high-rise residential building in Florida, which killed 98 people.

First responders had been called to the building on Saturday after residents of the building reported hearing the sound of a blast. Images showed cracks on the walls of the building and police said residents were unable to open the front doors of their apartments.

The decision to evacuate the building was made in coordination with professional engineers, police said, with officers closing off the street outside the building and police urging people to stay away.

The building on Serlin Street in Holon collapsed on Sunday afternoon, some thirty hours after it was evacuated of its 36 families.
