Summary of Lag BaOmer 5785 Events at the celebration of Rabbi Shimon Bar Yochai in Meron

16.05.2025 08:46

Hundreds of MDA employees and volunteers, along with volunteers from rescue organizations operating under MDA, remained on full alert throughout the event to provide rapid and efficient medical care to anyone in need

33 participants at the event were treated by Magen David Adom (MDA) teams and evacuated to Ziv, Poriya, and the Galilee Medical Center in Nahariya. All are in mild condition, including: two pregnant women in labor, a child pedestrian hit by a vehicle, a person injured in an overturned ATV accident, and individuals who suffered from weakness or minor injuries.

In addition, 125 participants who felt unwell or were injured were treated on-site by MDA teams and volunteers from rescue organizations operating under MDA, in the event area and in the medical tents that were set up—without needing hospital evacuation.

MDA Director-General Eli Bin:
"I thank the hundreds of MDA staff and volunteers, as well as the volunteers from the other rescue organizations operating under MDA throughout the year, who once again took part in the major security operation in Meron. The cooperation with the Israel Police, Fire and Rescue Services, and all other partners in the operation proved itself. The extensive preparations and precise planning enabled rapid and efficient treatment and ensured the safety of the hundreds of thousands of celebrants."

MDA will continue to provide medical security at the event site until Sunday.
