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 103 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.
