Authorities are probing the suspected poisoning of fish in the Tzalmon estuary in the Sea of Galilee, the Agriculture Ministry says.
A joint investigation by the ministry and the Water Authority was launched after dead fish were found floating in the area.
Tests are being conducted in the area, but experts have ruled out any damage to the drinking water system.
The ministry says the public can continue to consume fish, but urges them to exercise caution and only purchase them from established shops.
