Israelis ushered in Independence Day on Wednesday evening free of most of the coronavirus health restrictions that put a damper on last year’s festivities.
The main official ceremonies marking 73 years of Israeli independence were held Wednesday evening on Jerusalem’s Mount Herzl, featuring a torch-lighting ceremony honoring health care professionals who have been on the front lines in the fight against the pandemic over the past year.
The 14 torch lighters also included teachers, Israelis who have lost loved ones in terror attacks and a prominent victim of domestic violence.
The torch lighters included Dr. Dror Dicker, director of the department of internal medicine at Hasharon Hospital in Petah Tikva, a head nurse of an Afula hospital’s COVID-19 unit and nurse from the Acre area.
