The recent rains caused a flood near the Viznitz Cemetery in Bnei Brak. Once discovered by children in the community, those same children began to play in it with makeshift rafts.

The children made boats out of foam or plastic and began riding along the lake.

According to one resident, “This is a serious danger. People, children, can drown on this semi-lake. It can cause injuries and even death. It is unfathomable how the city is allowing this to take place and is not draining the lake immediately. Leaving the lake open can lead to serious injury and harm,” he concluded.
