The Ministry of Environmental Protection announced on Monday evening that high school students and students at the Erezim school in Kiryat Ata will be permitted to return to classes on Tuesday. The schools had been closed due to an unusual pollution level measured near the Bazan industrial complex. The ministry stated it would continue to monitor pollution data and, as a precautionary measure, would deploy an additional mobile monitoring station at the Erezim school.
Earlier, the ministry identified the source of the pollution as repair work conducted by Bazan for its Gadiv plant. This plant had been directly impacted during Operation "Guardian of the Walls." The situation prompted a halt to the repair work, leading to a gradual decrease in pollution levels.
The Minister of Environmental Protection, Idit Silman, along with the Ministry's Director General Rami Rozan and professional teams, conducted a tour and investigation at the plant on Monday morning. The ministry has demanded that Bazan submit a detailed plan for the continuation of the repair work, ensuring that no unusual emissions into the environment occur and specifying control measures, including the immediate cessation of work if a problem arises.
