A dramatic rescue unfolded in Jerusalem as emergency crews saved a 15-year-old boy who had climbed a crane and was left hanging nearly 300 meters above the ground for hours. The teenager reportedly scaled the crane around midnight to 'see the view' and remained stranded on a narrow platform until firefighters launched a complex operation to reach him. Using a rope system and pulley, rescuers carefully lowered the boy to safety, after which he was treated for minor injuries and dehydration. Authorities stated that the incident did not appear to be a suicide attempt, and the boy is now in good condition.
