Wet Weekend

For the fourth year in a row, Tel Aviv held its unofficial annual Water War. The event was organized by a group named Pharsh, and was inspired by similar events all over the world.

This last Friday, thousands of people arrived at Rabin Square, in the very center of Tel Aviv, just below the City Hall. Most came equipped with water guns, buckets, or simply with a mop cloth — and when the clock hit 3:15pm, the games began. There was only one rule: Drench everyone with as much water as possible and have as much fun as you want!

In order to save water, participants had been asked not to bring water from home, and to use the fountain’s water instead.
