Israel's Ministry of Health has officially lifted all previously imposed swimming restrictions at several Mediterranean Sea coastal areas following laboratory tests that confirmed water quality has returned to safe levels. The decision impacts Charles Clore Beach in Tel Aviv, all beaches in Herzliya, and M'ei Ami Beach in Ashdod, according to a statement from the ministry's press service.

Environmental and health officials analyzed recent standard laboratory tests of the seawater. The results indicated that the water's purity and quality metrics have met safe standards, leading the ministry to revoke its warning against entering the sea at these locations.

The ministry also issued a reminder to the public about water safety, emphasizing that swimming is only permitted at officially designated and equipped beaches with active lifeguard services and regular sanitary monitoring. The announcement comes after a period where these beaches were deemed unsafe for public access.
