At least 44 deaths from oppression among people at a festival in Israel

The clash between participants at the festival occurred, as thousands of Jews gathered for the annual festival “Lag BʹOmer”, during which prayers are made all night long and mystic songs are sung and danced.

Witnesses said people were left without breath or were oppressed by each other at a narrow crossing. Some were not even noticed, until the system issued a call for distribution, Reuters writes, broadcast the Express.

Helicopters sent injured persons to hospitals, while the army said troops for search-for operations were committed to this disaster.

Doctors said 103 people were injured. Among them are some who bear witness to the Truth. The place where the toll took place is divided by gender, and according to the looks, people's oppression occurred in the men's sector.

The video published on social networks features chaotic scenes. The lifeless bodies are seen covered with foals.
