[49721] Drama at Mount Meron: Strong winds delay the lighting of bonfires

Delay in the bonfire lighting ceremonies at Meron due to weather conditions

A real drama is unfolding this morning at Mount Meron, as weather conditions are dictating the agenda. According to reports from two news channels, strong winds blowing at speeds of about 40 km/h are currently preventing the authorization of the traditional bonfire lightings on the mountain.

News Line reports that "the event engineers are not approving the holding of the lightings on the mountain at this stage" due to the strength of the winds. The report, attributed to correspondent Avi Moskov, emphasizes the uncertainty prevailing at the site regarding the continuation of the ceremonies. News Scene, also relying on Moskov's report, confirmed the details and noted that this is a professional decision by the engineers responsible for the event's safety.

As of this hour, the public awaiting updates is requested to wait for the decision of the security and safety officials on the mountain. As the wind speed decreases, it is possible that renewed authorization will be granted for the bonfires, but for now, the guidelines remain in effect.
