- Three Sea of Galilee beaches have swimming advisories due to poor water quality.
- The Ministry of Health cited unusual microbial results from water tests.
- This is the second warning in two weeks for the Sea of Galilee.
- Swimming is only permitted at designated beaches, the ministry stated.
Israel's Ministry of Health issued a swimming advisory on Monday for three beaches along the Sea of Galilee (Kinneret): Tsinbari, Tzemach, and Gofra. The warning comes after the ministry received "unusual microbial results" from water quality tests.
The advisory is effective until further notice. The Ministry of Health reminded the public that swimming is only permitted at designated beaches.
This is the second such warning for the Sea of Galilee in the past two weeks due to water contamination. On September 24, the ministry issued a similar advisory for Shikmim Beach, also citing abnormal microbial findings in water quality tests. That beach remained closed for approximately 24 hours before the advisory was lifted the following day.
