New satellite imagery shows no meaningful improvement in the spread of the algae affecting Israel’s coastline, raising concern that the phenomenon could continue expanding and threaten the Hadera desalination facility.
Channel 13 reported Thursday morning that the latest satellite images show the algae distribution remaining largely unchanged despite ongoing efforts to track its movement.
Officials are concerned that the algae could continue spreading along the coast rather than dissipating, increasing the potential threat to critical infrastructure.
Of particular concern is the desalination facility in Hadera, which could face operational problems if the algae reaches the plant in sufficient concentrations.
The latest imagery therefore leaves authorities facing continued uncertainty over the extent and direction of the algae spread, with the Hadera facility remaining among the sites under concern.
