As Environment Minister officials continue to search for the cause of a strong smell in the Sharon and Gush Dan areas last week, residents again reported a stench from an unknown source. It is not clear if there is a connection between the two odors.
According to Ynet, officials are investigating whether work on a large gas tank at a restaurant in Ramat Hasharon last Thursday caused the odor in that area.
While various theories were suggested for last week’s strong smell, including offshore gas drilling or a ground disinfection procedure, the source of the odors has not yet been discovered.
