The South Adom Festival will take place this year during the month of February. The five regional councils where the events are held have decided not to hold them in the planned format.

"We are attentive and share the pain of the residents of the area," says Doron Nachmani-Ashtan, CEO of the Shekma Beshor tourism association. "Only the al-Naviot march in memory of the late Ofir Liebstein" will be held as planned, he adds.
