The Israel Nature and Parks Authority called on the public on Tuesday to look out for turtle nests on Israel’s Mediterranean beaches, now that egg-laying season has begun and rockets from Gaza appear to have stopped.
Since the ceasefire with Hamas took effect early Friday, seven turtle nests have been discovered on the southern coast. On Monday, one was found in the tracks of a tank on Zikim beach, south of Ashkelon and near Gaza.
