A 20 year-old woman was killed and 20 others were injured, one seriously, when a lighting rig collapsed onto the stage this afternoon on Mount Herzl in Jerusalem during rehearsals for next week's Independence Day state ceremony.
Emergency services began treating the wounded shortly after the collapse and there are fears that some people may be trapped under the debris. A spokesman for Magen David Adom said that it was the sound and lighting system that collapsed onto the stage during rehearsals.
