(Live) – After receiving abnormal results from water tests, streams in the north were found to be contaminated.

The Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Environmental Protection informed Hai Pa News Corporation:

The Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Environmental Protection report abnormal results in water sampling carried out to examine the state of pollution in certain streams in the north of the country and therefore inform travelers and local authorities that entering these streams may be dangerous.

The Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Environmental Protection are informing the traveling public and the regional and local councils of unusual results in water sampling carried out to examine the state of pollution in the streams in the north. In tests for bacteria in the samples taken on April 2, 2025, results were found in several streams in the north that exceed the recommendations of the Ministry of Health (400 fecal sounds in 100 ml) and indicate the presence of water contamination.

The results obtained:

1. Hatzbani – hydroelectric station: 500; Jordan estuary: 3,200.
2. Jordan - Gesher Yosef: 1,450; The Bashan Flame Bridge: 1,170; Bridge of Five: 630; Hori Bridge: 420; Jordan on behalf of Atart: 520; Bridge of the Aunts: 930; Eric Bridge: 850.
3. The hexagon pool: 570.
4. Jilbon - Mefal Deborah: 550.
5. El Al - 2,800.

In view of these results, entering these streams may be dangerous until the obtained sampling results are normal and stable:

1. Hatzbani.
2. Jordan - from Gesher Yosef to the estuary of the Sea of ​​Galilee.
3. Hex pool.
4. Jilbon - Deborah Waterfall.
5. Al Al

The Ministry of Environmental Protection found no known source of pollution in the streams.
Normally, sampling is done from a sample once every two weeks through Nature and Parks Authority inspectors, at fixed sampling points in the northern streams (in the Upper Galilee, the Golan, and the Western Galilee). The dots represent a waterfall, a pond or a section of a stream. The Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Environmental Protection continue sampling and monitoring and will update as necessary.
