Police had to physically remove the last remaining people who refused to leave Meron as it is a closed military zone until after Lag Baomer, in the wake of numerous Hezbollah attacks of the site in recent months. Just today, Hezbollah fired around 75 rockets to the surrounding area. Hezbollah has repeatedly been targeting the IDF’s air control base on Har Meron – just a stones throw away from Kever Rashbi.
Home Front Command, Maj.-Gen. Rafi Milo, signed the order imposing a military closure on Meron following the passing of the Meron Law, which legislated emergency regulations at the site on Lag B’Omer in the wake of numerous Hezbollah attacks of the site in recent months.
The order went into effect on Tuesday at 11 p.m. and will remain in effect until Monday, May 27 at noon.
The Boyaner chassidus announced that due to his longstanding mesorah and Chazaka, the Boyaner Rebbe will carry out an hadlakah at Meron on Lag B’Omer with a minyan of chassidim. On Motzei Shabbos, the Rebbe will carry out an hadlakah in the Boyaner Beis Medrash in Yerushalayim and he will then travel to Meron with a minyan of chassidim.
According to the plan, a central hadlakah will be held at the Meron site on Lag B’Omer along with two additional hadlakos at the Bnei Akiva complex. The hadlakos will take place at different times and up to 30 people (10 at each hadlakah) will be allowed to attend.
Additionally, up to 30 people who lost relatives in the Meron disaster will be allowed to participate in a tefillah at the tzion along with some residents of the Meron yishuv.
Five journalists from different media outlets will be allowed into the Bar Yochai and Bnei Akiva complexes.

Reminiscent of the Police 🚔 removing the last outholds from Gaza in summer 2005, & just look where this has left us 😭😱
Has anyone else heard what it will cost to provide security for the 30 plus people who will be there? The number of shekel I heard it would cost was too crazy to write. Curious if anyone else heard a number. It’s amazing what you can do if you have connections.
The lack of brains is just amazing. Hizballah is watching in real time, and there cannot be a big gathering! Vast majority of Rabbonim, Poskim, Rebbes etc. said not to go! so by what right can you call ‘Nazi’ to a fellow yid, who most probably started recently keeping Shabbos and putting on Tefillin (not that it should matter in truth, but in their tiny brains…)????
זיי ראטעווען זייער לעבן און זיי פאָלגן נאָך נישט. זיי זענען משוגע אין קאָפּ
MDshweks:
I give you 100% right. A crazy world where elyonim lamattah vtachtonim lemaalah.
A bunch of zealots – thinking than the holy R’Shimon of the Gemara feels that it’s ok to add the pilgrimage to one of the 3 that one should give his life for…
Go figure; priorities guys!
And these are the guys they say we should have hakoras hatoiv to…. why?
If you drag someone away from davening by R Shimon’s kever then you really can’t complain when your soldiers are getting blown up in Gaza
yimach shemom vzichrom
Sensible: These idiots who defied directives to leave and diverted the attention of security forces are the ones most likely to get “blown up”.
Gadolhadorah :
C”V; a Godulhadorah doesn’t speak this way
Idiots, get out of there! Yeah zionism is bad but it’s not safe there and you gotta leave and not cause a chillul Hashem
Zionist propaganda news are here to tell us about the wonderful police and the horrible Haredim. When in the history of klal yisroel are the police the good guys and the devouting religious the bad guys? only under zionist mythology.
@Gadolhadorah,
Only someone totally blinded by zionism would say such an idiotically ignorant statemen.
As of today, the places where people are dying is not in Meron.
It is sheer stupidity to believe that anyone would bomb Meron (except for the zionists who stop at nothing to terrorise and take nekama or Retzachtem V’gam Yerashtem as in 2021), it is israeli soldiers and mainly irreligious, leftist, communist Hashem haters that have died in the past 7 months.
Get used to it, Meron is not a dangerous place unless you are a Hashem hater!
