The Health Ministry has advised against swimming at the Cliff North beach in Tel Aviv until further notice, after abnormal results in routine water quality tests, according to the ministry. The advisory is in effect immediately.
The Health Ministry on Tuesday morning issued a swimming advisory for the Cliff North beach in Tel Aviv, citing abnormal water quality test results. The directive, announced via the ministry's standard notification channels, remains in force until further notice. The exact nature of the contamination — whether bacterial, chemical, or other — has not been specified. Similar advisories are issued periodically in Israeli coastal municipalities when routine sampling detects parameters outside the acceptable range. The ministry's action follows a separate water quality notification last week in Shefa-Amr, where residents were ordered to boil tap water after abnormal findings. The current advisory affects a specific section of Tel Aviv's northern shoreline, a popular beach during the summer bathing season.
