Israel's Ministry of Health has announced the lifting of a swimming advisory at the "HaShikmim" beach on the Sea of Galilee (Kinneret). The advisory was initially issued due to elevated levels in water sampling results, raising concerns about pollution that could pose a health risk to swimmers.
Following updated water quality tests conducted at the site, the ministry confirmed that the measured parameters have returned to the required standards and are now completely normal. This positive outcome has led to the decision to reopen the beach for public use.
The Ministry of Health reiterated its standard safety guidelines, emphasizing that swimming is permitted only at designated and officially recognized beaches, and exclusively during hours when lifeguard services are operational.
