Two killed as seats collapse at synagogue in West Bank

At least two people have died and scores have been injured after a tiered seating structure collapsed at a partly built synagogue north of Jerusalem.

Police said about 650 ultra-Orthodox worshippers were in the synagogue at Givat Zeev, a Jewish settlement in the occupied West Bank, to mark a festival.45 people died in a crush at an ultra-Orthodox festivalIn Sunday's incident, initial reports from Israel's Magen David Adom ambulance service said medics "provided care to about 60 injured, including about 10 in critical and severe condition".

The synagogue was described as partially constructed. Police and local officials said organisers had been warned that the building was unsafe and the event had taken place despite a lack of permits. "We were called again to another event where there was negligence and a lack of responsibility. There will be arrests," Jerusalem district police chief Doron Turgeman told television reporters.

Israel's government watchdog has launched an inquiry into the deadly crush at Mount Meron - one of Israel's worst civilian disasters - saying it could have been prevented. All the victims were men or boys.

Free Palestine 🇵🇸

I respect the right of a woman to save her body from the rapist, but this doesn't justify scratching his face, she should have waited another 50 years of negotiations to persuade him to get off her body. God will ask you about Gaza

Who are they gonna blame this time? Hamas?

Britain must pay compensation to the Palestinians because George VI and his Foreign Minister gave the Jews, the spoilers, who haunted the security of Britain and its King of Palestine in order to relax from them and broke that sinister promise agreed upon by the League of Nations

This is the kind of pathetic journalism that is now the norm from the bbc. In the time it took 10 bbc pro Israeli employees to write this up probably another 50 innocent Palestinians have been killed by the occupation forces of terror...

Police suspect a splinter group.
