The image captures an active escalator maintenance operation inside the Azrieli Ayalon Mall in Ramat Gan, Israel. The escalator is significantly disassembled, with numerous steps removed and stacked vertically on the adjacent floor. Its internal mechanical components, including drive chains and support structures, are exposed. Three adult males, identified as workers, are engaged in the scene. One male, with dark hair and a beard, crouches on the left, wearing orange gloves and manipulating tools within a black bag. Another older male, with thinning gray hair, is partially inside the escalator pit on the right, bending over and using a power tool on the internal machinery. A hammer and a green-handled screwdriver rest on the metal surface near him. A third male worker, younger, stands in the background, overseeing the work area, which is cordoned off by red and white barrier tape strung between metal stanchions. Mall patrons are visible in the background, separated from the work area by the barrier. A female is pushing a black baby stroller containing an infant. A large yellow sign with Hebrew text "קניון עזריאלי" (Azrieli Mall) and a directional arrow is prominently displayed in the mid-ground. An advertising board for a "POPUP" event dated "16.07-25.07" is also partially visible on the right. Various instructional pictograms are affixed to the escalator's side panels, including "no running," "no strollers," and a red "do not enter" symbol at the base. The environment is a brightly lit, tiled mall interior.
