ISRAEL TO MARK 60TH ANNIVERSARY WITH
"LIGHTING ISRAEL" FIREWORKS AND LASER SPECTACULARS IN
EIGHT CITIES
On
Wednesday, May 7, the eve of the 60th anniversary
of its rebirth in 1948, Israelis will celebrate with a
countrywide series of firework, laser and light
shows.
The
12-minute spectacles, which kick off at 10:30pm and will light
up the skies above Jerusalem, Tel Aviv, Haifa, Ashdod,
Netanya, Beersheba, Tiberias and Eilat, will feature elaborate
fireworks, laser-light displays and celebratory
music.
"In
the past, major Independence Day events were usually held in
just one or two cities," says Arie Sommer, Israel Tourism
Commissioner for North and South America, "but this year the
decision was made to expand the festivities, so that Israelis
and tourists throughout the country can enjoy the spectacle."
In
2007, more Americans visited Israel than in any year in the
nation's history, and for the first months of 2008, tourism is
51% up. "So it looks like the 60th anniversary year
will be a bumper year for tourism," Sommer added.
