The aquarium at Jerusalem’s Biblical Zoo is evacuated over fears of a hazardous material leak.
Despite initial reports of casualties, no one appeared to be hurt in the incident.
According to the Walla news site, there was a strong smell of chlorine during a routine disinfection of the aquarium at the zoo.
Channel 13 news reports that the incident had apparently been caused by the incorrect mixing of chemicals during the cleaning process.
