Regev has decided: the beacon ceremony on Independence Day will be held without an audience and will be photographed in advance. According to her, the decision stemmed from a variety of considerations - including bereavement, loss and deep pain of the people of Israel.
For the first time the part of the ceremony that deals with the transition from Remembrance Day will take place outside Mount Herzl and will include the broadcasting of the lighting of memorial flares in and around Otef, which suffered heavy losses on the seventh of October.
