This is an incorrect announcement, and even now hundreds of police officers are working to prevent unauthorized individuals from reaching Meron contrary to instructions. We call on the public to listen only to official announcements from the Israel Police and representatives of the Meron event production, and not to publications from unofficial sources.
In the last few minutes, false reports have been circulated regarding the opening of the Meron area for pilgrims.
Israel Police denies false reports of Meron opening, hundreds working to prevent unauthorized access, urges public to trust official sources.
