Hatzor Haglilit

The National Land Enforcement Authority demolished structures built without permits at the complex as part of a move to regulate the site, rehabilitate it, and improve visitor safety. The activity comes against the backdrop of infrastructure defects and hazards identified at the site, which is visited by hundreds of thousands of people annually, and follows lessons learned from the Meron disaster.

A 41-year-old resident of Hatzor HaGlilit has been indicted for attacking a foreign worker during an argument. The defendant allegedly smashed a glass bottle on the victim's head, claiming it was a reaction to the victim 'touching his hand'. Prosecutors have requested he remain in custody until the end of the trial.
