The warning, initially issued on November 7 following heavy rainfall along the coastal plain, cited concerns over potential contamination of seawater from surface runoff and sewage.
Restrictions remain in place for specific locations. These include the "Charles Clore" beach in Tel Aviv, all beaches in Herzliya, and the "Mi-Ami" beach in Ashdod. The Ministry reiterated that swimming is only permitted at officially designated and equipped beaches.
