Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GooglePrime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu urges Israelis against lighting bonfires for the Lag B’Omer holiday due to the dry weather conditions.
In a video message, Netanyahu says “forecasters tell us that there are high temperatures and there are winds, and the experts say: Do not light bonfires.”

“There will be other opportunities. But if you must, then at most have a barbecue at your home,” he joked. “You can even make it vegetarian.”
