Health Ministry Orders Water Boil Advisory in Shitula Following Abnormal Test Results

The Israeli Ministry of Health has issued a directive requiring residents of the Shitula settlement to boil their water before drinking, cooking, preparing medications, or brushing teeth. This advisory follows the detection of abnormal water sampling results in the community.
