Tel Aviv beaches shut by overflowing wastewater amid heavy rains
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe Health Ministry issues a warning for beachgoers to steer clear of beaches across Tel Aviv due to pollution fears stemming from heavy rains hitting the area.
According to the ministry, wastewater was swept into the Yarkon River, sending it coursing into the sea near the city.
Rains drenching much of the country are expected to weaken over the next several hours before picking back up again after nightfall.
The Israel Metrological Service issues its own warning advising against entering the sea up and down the coast due to high waves and stormy conditions.
