A journalist affiliated with the Lebanese Hezbollah movement has published pictures on social media purporting to show the Israeli woman who crossed the border into Syria surveilling the Lebanese frontier from Israel.
According to al-Manar’s Ali Choeib, the woman was seen near the border in a SUV with an open window in October 2020. At the time, tensions on the border were higher than normal due to Israeli fears of a Hezbollah counterattack following the killing of a commander in Syria.
According to Ynet, the woman was stopped at the time by a senior IDF officer near the border, warned about the danger of being there, and sent away.

The government is advising Israelis to avoid all Mediterranean beaches from north to south due to pollution from a tar spill that has reached Israel’s coastline.
A joint advisory issued by the Health, Interior and Environmental Protection ministry calls on the public “not to go [to the beaches] to swim, or do sports or leisure activity until further notice.”
“Exposure to tar could harm public health,” the advisory reads.

The government on Sunday advised Israelis to avoid all Mediterranean beaches from north to south due to pollution from a tar spill that has reached the coastline.
The warning came following a massive oil spill off the coast, which is suspected to have resulted in the death of many sea creatures, including a whale whose body washed up to the Israeli shore on Thursday. Some officials have called it the worst environmental disaster to hit Israel for years.

Three lawmakers rushed Tuesday to burnish their environmental credentials hours before the Knesset was expected to disband.
The Knesset voted 49-47 overnight Monday-Tuesday against legislation that would have given the Likud and Blue and White parties extra time to reach agreement on a state budget. As a result of the failure to pass a budget, at midnight, the parliament will dissolve and new elections the fourth in two years will automatically be triggered.
Environmental Protection Minister Gila Gamliel (Likud) announced interministerial agreement on the wording of an amendment to the Land Law to enable apartment blocks home to some 75 percent of Israelis to put solar panels on roofs under common ownership with greater ease.
