Haifa Beach Closed to Swimming After Unusual Microbial Results
Kiryat Haim Beach in Haifa has been closed to swimming until further notice following the discovery of unusual microbial results in routine water quality tests. The Ministry of Health and the Haifa Municipality jointly announced the closure on Monday, warning the public to avoid entering the water.
The exact causes for the abnormal readings are currently unknown and are under investigation. The beach will remain closed until repeat water sampling confirms that the quality meets the required standards, allowing for its reopening.

The public is urged to exercise caution and adhere to the safety instructions from the authorities.
