The operation providing medical security for the tens of thousands of pilgrims who are taking part in the Lag BaOmer festivities on Mount Meron, near the gravesite of Rabbi Shimon Bar Yochai, is currently underway. Hundreds of United Hatzalah volunteers from around the country are operating in shifts around the clock. As of now, no major incidents have been reported. United Hatzalah spokesperson Raphael Poch said: "Until now, our teams have treated a number of people for minor injuries, weakness and contusions. The operation will continue until the end of Lag BaOmer tomorrow night."
