On 30 April 2021 at about 00:50 IDT, a deadly crowd crush occurred in Meron, Israel, during the annual Mount Meron pilgrimage on the Lag BaOmer holiday, at which there were about 100,000 attendees. Forty-five people were killed, and more than a hundred injured, dozens of them critically, making it the deadliest civil disaster in the history of Israel. The potential for such a calamity, given the tens of thousands of celebrants, had been reported by the state controller and the police chief, and the local council had tried several times to close the site. Reuters cites Israeli media as reporting that, as a precaution against the COVID-19 pandemic, bonfire areas had been partitioned off, which may have created choke-points that were not taken into account.
