Among Israel's printing victims are Americans

“We can confirm that some US citizens are among the victims”, the embassy spokesman said, referring to the disaster that occurred in the night between Thursday and Friday, Reuters writes.

The US “Embassy is working with local authorities to verify that there are other American citizens affected by this case and is offering all possible consular support to affected American citizens and loved ones. Because of respect for families in this difficult period, we don't have any other comments”, he added.

At least 45 people were printed to death at a religious festival full of people without any distance in Israel. The clash between participants at the festival occurred, as thousands of Jews gathered for the annual religious festival, “Lag BʹOmer”, during which prayers are made all night long and mystic songs are sung and danced.
