JERUSALEM, ISRAEL – MAY 02: (ISRAEL OUT) Ultra-Orthodox Jews stand next to a bonfire at Lag BaOmer celebration on May 2, 2018 in Jerusalem, Israel. The Lag BaOmer bonfire is lit to commemorate the death of renowned Jewish scholar and renowned Bar Yochai some 1800 years ago. In a night-long vigil thousands of Jews will light large bonfires and visit the final resting place of Bar Yochai, who is revered as one of Judaism’s great sages. (Photo by Lior Mizrahi/Getty Images)

The bonfire was part of an annual New Year's Eve competition with a neighboring community. Old wooden pallets were used to fuel the fire that reached over 160 feet tall before getting out of control. You can see multiple 'firenadoes' swirling across the beach. No one was injured but a few buildings had some damage done and the riot police were called in.
Officials say this tradition may not continue in the future.
