The injured workers were taken to Rambam Medical Center in Haifa for treatment.
Two workers were reportedly trapped underneath the container, and Fire and Rescue Services personnel were working to extract hem.
Bat-El Jeanette Habakuk, a paramedic with Hatzolah, said, "The workers at the site reported that a cargo elevator collapsed on the container that was used for accommodations, and it fell into a courtyard. At this stage there are two injured people who are still unconscious."
According to a statement from Rambam, "The first injured person was brought in, conscious, with injuries of various degrees. A second injured person was also taken in with numerous wounds, also conscious. A third person with serious injures is being processed."
The Israel Police have launched a probe into the cause of the accident.
