The Health Ministry, who reportedly sent the message, confirmed that they had sent no such message, according to United Hatzalah President Eli Beer.
“It appears that whoever started these rumors wanted to harm the work of United Hatzalah and scare people who were celebrating at Meron into not coming to our clinic for much needed medical attention,” said Beer. “The people they hurt the most are those who need help in Meron itself.
