(haipo) – Water sampling in streams in the north conducted on Tuesday (26/8/25) found that there is a risk of water contamination in a number of streams in the north. The Ministry of Health recommends not entering these streams.
The Ministry of Health informed Lahi Pa:
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 inform the traveling public and regional and local councils of unusual results in water sampling carried out to examine the pollution status in streams in the north. Bacterial tests in samples taken on August 26, 2025 found results in several streams in the north that deviate from the Ministry of Health recommendations (400 fecal coliforms in 100 ml) and indicate the presence of water pollution.
In light of the results obtained, entering these streams may be dangerous until the sampling results obtained are correct and stable:
- Hatzbani - from the Roman bridge to the Jordan estuary.
- Banias - Kfar Sold bridge.
- Jordan – from Joseph's Bridge to the mouth of the Sea of Galilee.
- The hexagon pool.
- Jewish.
- Zaki
- crusher.
- Gilbon.
- El Al.
- Nahal Zalmon.
- Nahal Kziv and Ein Hadalit.
The Ministry of Environmental Protection found no known source of pollution in the streams.
Recently, an increase in the concentration of bacteria was observed in samples taken in the northern rivers. According to the ministries, this increase is influenced by the decrease in water flow in the rivers.
The Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Environmental Protection continue sampling and monitoring and will update as needed.
The Tzalmon River is supposed to flow desalinated water into the Sea of Galilee…
The authorities' helplessness in preventing the repeated pollution of the rivers is simply insane.
What's the problem with monitoring polluting factors and stopping the experiment? It doesn't matter if it's stopping the arm-barring cows or the owners, but what's the problem with stopping! Just stop!
No reason justifies harming such an important and fundamental natural value as a river. Water.
The diapers and filth left by the Haredim, between times….
There are no streams in the country, only sewage and people wading in sewage water.
The Ministry of Environmental Protection is a sham ministry, including a director on paper only.
There's been pollution in these streams all summer. So thank you for informing the public, but what are we doing about it?
Ministry of Environmental Protection A body without teeth
