A company that previously conducted a secret experiment involving toxic materials in the sea is now proposing another trial in the Ashkelon marina. The company has admitted the prior experiment's success is unproven, yet seeks to release chemicals again. This follows the exposure of the initial "algae experiment" two months ago, which lacked public notification.

  • A company seeks to conduct a new experiment involving chemicals in the Ashkelon marina.
  • The company previously conducted a secret "algae experiment" with toxic materials.
  • The success of the prior experiment has not been proven, according to the company.
  • The previous experiment involved releasing toxic materials into the sea without public notice.
  • The new proposal has raised concerns about further environmental damage.

Two months after the "algae experiment" was exposed by Channel 13 News, where government ministries secretly approved the dumping of toxic materials into the sea without public notification, a new, potentially dangerous experiment is being considered for the Ashkelon marina. The company that conducted the previous experiment has now admitted there is no proof of its success. Despite this, the company is proposing to release chemicals into the sea again.

The initial experiment, which involved pouring toxic substances into the sea, was approved by government ministries without prior public announcement. The revelation of this experiment sparked public outcry and concern over environmental safety. The company involved has since acknowledged the lack of conclusive evidence demonstrating the effectiveness or safety of the previous trial.

Despite the unproven results and the ongoing environmental concerns, the company is pushing forward with plans for another trial. This new proposal has raised alarm among environmental advocates and the public, who fear further damage to the marine ecosystem. The specifics of the proposed new experiment and the exact chemicals involved have not yet been fully disclosed, but the prospect of another release of substances into the sea has generated significant apprehension.
