The tragedy in Israel has resulted in the deaths of 45 people

Tragic sights of a stampede that took place in Mount Meron, wherein 45 people (at the time this was written) have died and 150 were hurt at a mass stampede during the traditional Lag B’Omer celebration. 

Reports say that the death toll is expected to rise. Sunday is expected to be a national day of mourning in Israel.
