At least 44 people were killed in a stampede at a religious bonfire festival in Israel on Friday, according to local media. Medics confirmed that dozens of people were injured at the Lag B'Omer event in northern Mount Meron, where tens of thousands of Orthodox Jews were gathered at the tomb of a 2nd-century sage for annual commemorations that include all-night prayer and dance.
