High Court rejects petition by bereaved families on Memorial Day cemetery visits
The High Court of Justice rejects a petition by the families of fallen IDF soldiers and terror victims against the government’s closure of military cemeteries on Memorial Day, which begins tonight and ends tomorrow evening, amid the pandemic.
The government will close the military sites this afternoon to visitors to prevent gatherings and the spread of the virus. The move has been protested by relatives of the fallen.
