A gas explosion after midnight in Jerusalem killed two
parents and their baby, and left several others injured, according to Hatzolah
Israel.
The blast occurred on the third floor of the four story
building on Shabtai HaNegbi Street, causing it to collapse partially. Emergency
personnel were ordered out of the building shortly after 2 a.m., after the
structure was deemed dangerously unstable.
The explosion was the result of a gas leak, Israel Radio
reported.
The baby was pulled from the wreckage, and paramedics worked
unsuccessfully to resuscitate the unconscious child. Paramedics initially
feared that another child was trapped, but later estimated that there were no
more residents trapped in the building.
The incident occurred in the Gilo neighborhood in the
southern part of the city.
Police continued to search the scene for additional survivors.
