Bacterial Pollution Threatens Jordan River
The Israeli Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Environmental Protection have warned against entering the waters of certain rivers and water sites in northern Israel after water quality tests showed an abnormal increase in fecal coliform bacteria levels, exceeding the permitted limit of 400 units per 100 milliliters at all tested locations. The contamination included the Jordan River in the Galilee and Golan areas, where levels ranged from 600 to 1270 units. The ministries advise avoiding water contact in the affected areas until health and safety results are confirmed. The source of the contamination has not yet been identified, and relevant authorities are continuing to collect additional samples for monitoring.
