Israeli Health Ministry Warns of Pollution at Six Sea of Galilee Beaches
The Israeli Ministry of Health has issued a swimming advisory for six beaches along the Sea of Galilee due to abnormal microbial contamination detected in routine water quality tests. The affected beaches are Kursi, Halukim, Susita, Raket, Mykonos (Paralia), and the beach near Nof Ginosar Hotel. The ministry warns that swimming at these locations may pose health risks to bathers and advises the public to avoid entering the water until further notice.
The advisory remains in effect until subsequent tests confirm that water quality has returned to safe levels. The ministry emphasized that swimming is only permitted at officially declared beaches and continues to monitor the situation closely. This warning comes amid the summer vacation period when many Israelis visit the Sea of Galilee for recreation.
