Large oil spill discovered in Kishon basin
A large fuel spill, almost half a dunam (.12 acre) in size, was found in the basin of the Kishon River. Inspectors from the Kishon Stream Authority went to the location of the spill to take samples, as well as to pump out the oil to stop it spreading.
The inspectors believe the oil spilled from one of the ships that were anchored at Kishon port. A representative of the Environment Protection Ministry arrived on the scene to launch an investigation.
