MDA medics arrived at the scene and confirmed the death of the boy, said: " This is a nine -story building fronted by scaffolding. He observed that the sixth floor was missing a wooden platter.

We tried to resuscitate him, but we had to confirm his death." Adin added that members of the synagogue near the body of the boy saw and gathered there until the arrival of police and paramedics.

In the yard lay a boy of about 13 when he is unconscious and not breathing and with no pulse signs of life, we tried to resuscitate him and in no time we had to confirm his death."
