Health Ministry Orders Closure of Katzrin Swimming Pools
The acting head of the Zefat District Health Office, Dr. Ahmed Awad, issued an administrative closure order for the "Ancient Katzrin Park Pools" in Katzrin. The order was signed on Wednesday, September 16, 2026.
The specific reasons for the closure were not detailed in the announcement, but administrative closure orders are typically issued due to significant health and safety violations that pose an immediate risk to the public.
This action by the Ministry of Health indicates a serious concern regarding the operational standards of the swimming facilities. The closure will remain in effect until the identified violations are rectified and the pools are deemed safe for public use by health officials.
Further details regarding the violations and the timeline for reopening are expected to be released following an inspection by the health authorities.
