Mass Lag BaOmer celebrations at Meron were sharply curtailed after renewed fire from Lebanon and tighter Home Front Command limits in the north. Authorities capped gatherings in Meron and nearby communities at 1,500 people and said events marking Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai's yahrzeit would take place only in symbolic form.
