In recent years, more and more old buildings in Israel have been collapsing without apparent causes like missiles or earthquakes. Unlike cities such as Singapore or New York, where building maintenance is legally mandatory, Israel operates on a reactive model, leaving residents in potentially hazardous structures. A recent incident in Tel Aviv, where an industrial building collapsed, injured two people and shocked many young residents. Although authorities quickly clarified that maintenance responsibility lies with the property owners, the lack of legislation on regular building maintenance contributes to neglect, especially in buildings inhabited by young tenants. This event highlights the urgent need for strict regulations to prevent such disasters in the future.
