Decades-high temperatures are expected in Israel during the current heatwave, which began yesterday and is expected to intensify, reaching its peak on Tuesday and Wednesday, according to the Meteorological Service.
Since Sunday, the lake's water level has risen five centimeters and now stands at 1.10 meters below the upper red line, the Galilee's maximum capacity.
The Israel Police said it is continuing activities to protect vacationers and businesses alike at the Kinneret (Sea of Galilee). To that end, 21 boats parked in an illegal lot along the lake that authorities say was taken over by criminals were seized.
