TEL AVIV (Dispatches) – U.S. citizens are among the dozens killed and injured in a stampede at a religious festival in Occupied Palestine, the U.S. Embassy said on Saturday, as criticism mounted in the wake of one of the biggest disasters in the occupying regime of Israel’s history.
At least 45 people were crushed to death and more than 100 injured at the ultra-Orthodox Jewish festival on the slopes of Mount Meron, held overnight between Thursday and Friday.
