The thousands of visitors to the Kever of R’ Shimon Bar Yochai in Meron are in danger of a terrorist attack, Rabbi Mordechai Halperin tells the Jerusalem Post. Rabbi Halperin, who is�the chairman of Moshav Meron, and is responsible for the day to day operation at the Kever, says that no�visitors are required to go through any�security checks.

“Just this weekend a man who turned out to be an Arab was wandering around the place, apparently gathering information,” said Halperin, who plans to present evidence of the security risk to a Knesset committee on Monday.

MK Yackov Litzman (UTJ) initiated the discussion in the Knesset – just two months ahead of Lag Ba’omer, when an approximate 500,000�people visit the Kever -�in an attempt to sort out who is responsible for managing the site.
