This week it was announced that despite the fighting in the Gaza Strip, the events of the South Adom Festival will take place this year during the month of February, under the sign of "blooming again" and with events adapted to the challenging security situation.
The IDF spokesperson and the police spokeswoman announced that the activity was approved "in accordance with the assessment of the security situation, along with adjustments made due to the war" and the list of special activities open to the public was published.
However, today (Friday), the organizers of the festival announced its cancellation.

Doron Nachmani-Ashtan, CEO of the Shekma Beshor tourism association, said: "We are attentive and share the pain of the residents of the area.
We have decided, together with our five partner regional councils, not to hold the Darom Adom events in the format that was planned.
"Only the al-Naviot march in memory of the late Ofir Liebstein (the head of the Shaar HaNegev Council who was killed on the morning of the Seventh of October when he went out to protect the residents of the area) will take place as planned, with the coordination and agreement of his family and the Shaar HaNegev Council."
