The Jerusalem Old City walls are lit up with images of the Israeli flag, large numbers of candles and the city’s crest, alongside the words “Jerusalem shares in the sorrow of the families who lost their loved ones,” in reference to the disaster at Mount Meron in which 45 people were crushed to death in a stampede at Lag B’Omer festivities.
