Israel's Ministry of Health announced on Wednesday the lifting of bathing advisories for Mediterranean beaches, which had been issued on Saturday following heavy rainfall. The advisories were initially put in place due to concerns over runoff and drainage water potentially contaminating bathing waters. However, the warning remains in effect for Charles Clore Beach in Tel Aviv, all beaches in Herzliya, and the Mi Ami beach in Ashdod. With the lifting of the advisory for most locations, swimming is now permitted at the remaining designated Mediterranean beaches. The Ministry of Health reminded the public that swimming is only allowed at officially designated beaches.
