(END TIME HEADLINES) – At least 45 people have been killed after panicked crowds filled a tiny “death trap” tunnel leaving dozens crushed to death at a Jewish festival today.
The tragedy took place at the overcrowded festival of Lag B’Omer in Meron, Israel just after midnight. According to the report, thousands were seen packed onto Mount Meron for the largest gathering held in the country since the Covid pandemic began. Details of the report revealed that attendees slipped on a narrow metal walkway as thousands tried to leave – causing the deadly incident as bodies piled into each other, injuring over 150.
Police reports of the incident stated that the slip created a “human avalanche” eyewitnesses of the tragedy stated that police were seen blocking the exit – and a police chief has admitted that the tunnel was dangerous. A survivor named David told Ynet: "Our bodies were swept along by themselves."
