TEL AVIV (Reuters) - Military jets flew in formation over Tel Aviv's deserted parks and streets on Wednesday, cheered on from rooftops by flag-waving residents in face masks as Israel marked its independence day under lockdown.
In a normal year, locals would celebrate the day by flocking to beaches and other public spaces for barbecues, and to soak up the sun.
