The La Guardia tunnel in Tel Aviv was closed this morning after a man's body was discovered inside, police said. The tunnel has since reopened. Officers reported no criminal suspicion.
The La Guardia tunnel in central Tel Aviv has reopened to westbound traffic as of this morning, after being closed for police investigation. The body of a man was discovered inside the tunnel earlier Sunday morning, prompting the closure. Police confirmed at the scene that there is no criminal suspicion, and the tunnel was reopened following the completion of on-site procedures.
Zioneer first reported the closure at 07:03 Jerusalem, noting that the tunnel was shut from west to eastbound after the discovery of a man's body. Initial police statements indicated no immediate suspicion of criminal activity. By 07:03 Jerusalem, a second report confirmed the same assessment, with officers explicitly stating there is no suspicion of criminal activity in the death.
As The Zioneer reported earlier, the incident is being treated as isolated, with no wider security implications. Drivers had been advised to use alternate routes during the closure.
The identity of the deceased and the precise cause of death have not been disclosed. No further details from the police investigation have been released.
