The incident occurred during the celebrations of Lag BaOmer at Mount Meron in occupied Palestine.
A section of stadium seating collapsed at the Lag B'Omer event in Mount Meron in Galilee when tens of thousands of Jews had gathered at the tomb of the 2nd-century sage Rabbi Shimon Bar Yochai for annual commemorations that include all-night prayer and dance.
The Zionist regime’s emergency service Magen David Adom (MDA) said that 112 people had been injured, including dozens fatally.

On Twitter, Benjamin Netanyahu called it a “heavy disaster”, and said he was praying for the casualties.
Lag BaOmer is a Jewish religious holiday celebrated on the 33rd day of the Counting of the Omer, which occurs on the 18th day of the Hebrew month of Iyar. (ILKHA)
