The Ministry of Health issued a swimming advisory on Monday for Kochavim Beach in Herzliya, citing "unusual microbial results" from water quality tests. The advisory remains in effect until further notice. This warning comes just one day before a public holiday, though the official swimming season concluded two weeks prior on October 10th. Currently, lifeguard services are only available at select beaches nationwide. The Ministry reminded the public that swimming is permitted only at designated beaches.
This is the second such advisory in the past month due to water contamination. On October 5th, a similar warning was issued for three beaches on the Kinneret (Sea of Galilee) - Tzinbari, Zemah, and Gofra - following abnormal microbial findings. That advisory was lifted approximately 24 hours later after subsequent tests showed acceptable water quality.
