Israel's Nature and Parks Authority has issued a warning of potential flash floods in the valleys of the Dead Sea region and the Negev Desert for Sunday, October 11, 2026. The warning, based on forecasts from the Meteorological Service, advises against entering wadis (riverbeds) where water is flowing, whether on foot or by vehicle, until water levels fully recede. The authority emphasized that this poses a life-threatening risk and urged people to stay away from the edges of these valleys during floods due to the danger of bank collapses. Those planning outdoor activities are advised to check the status of trails and tourist sites in advance by contacting the information center at *3639. The public is also recommended to follow weather updates on the Meteorological Service's website and news bulletins.
