A rehearsal of the ceremony for Israel's Independence Day is being aired on Wednesday evening.
The initial planned live ceremony was cancelled earlier in the day due to the raging fires across Israel.
Instead of the event, the footage from rehearsals has been broadcast.
One of the opening performances was of freed hostage Agam Berger playing the violin.

A major fire broke out in the Judean Hills during the morning and has spread throughout various areas in Israel.
Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar has been conducting a "marathon" of calls with international counterparts for aid, with an emphasis on European countries.
