Large quantities of tar wash up along Israel's beaches

Major tar wash‑up along Israel's Mediterranean coastline causes significant ecological damage.

Over the weekend large quantities of tar have washed up along Israel’s beaches, affecting about 40% of the 106‑mile coastline. The incident is being described as one of Israel’s worst environmental disasters in a decade. Thousands of volunteers, environmental organizations, and local authorities have worked to remove the tar by hand. The damage to wildlife and coastal ecosystems is extensive, and the Environmental Protection Ministry warns that the cleanup will take years. The tar is believed to stem from an unreported spill by a tanker dozens of kilometers off the Israeli coast, with detection delayed by a recent winter storm.
