Report: Israel reopens criminal probe into deadly Meron disaster More than five and a half years after 45 people died in the 2021 Meron disaster, law enforcement authorities are reopening the criminal investigation put on hold when a state commission of inquiry was established, Haaretz reported. The plan to resume criminal proceedings was drawn up in recent months during discussions led by Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara with representatives of the State Attorney’s Office, the Department of Internal Police Investigations, and the Israel Police. Law enforcement officials were informed of the final decision in late October. The decision was made following a petition to the Supreme Court by several organizations, including the Beyachad association and the 1973 Yom Kippur War veterans’ group, calling for the case to be reopened.
