Updated: May. 2, 2021 At least six U.S. citizens are among the 45 victims of the deadly stampede during Lag Ba'omer festivities in northern Israel overnight Thursday. In addition, one Brit, one Canadian and one Argentine were also among the fatalities. A State Department spokesperson confirmed to Haaretz that "multiple U.S. citizens were among the casualties." They included 19-year-old yeshiva students from northern New Jersey and Monsey, New York, as well as a 13-year-old boy who had moved to Israel with his family. The New Jersey student, Nachman Doniel Morris, had flown to Israel in September to study at Yeshivat Shaalvim in central Israel, after the Israeli government made special provisions to allow yeshiva students to come to the country despite draconian restrictions on travel because of the pandemic.
