Dozens of people have been killed in a stampede at a religious bonfire festival in Israel on Friday in what Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu described as a "heavy disaster".

Police sources said a stampede started after some people appeared to slip on steps, causing dozens more to fall.

Tens of thousands of ultra-Orthodox Jews had gathered at the Galilee tomb of 2nd-century sage Rabbi Shimon Bar Yochai for annual Lag B'Omer commemorations.
