IMS Upgrades Mediterranean Swim Warning to Orange

Ynet published an 11:02 IDT flash that the Israel Meteorological Service upgraded its Mediterranean swimming warning from yellow to orange, meaning waves could reach 1.5 meters. Earlier at 09:35, Ynet reported the IMS yellow warning and quoted director Amir Givati saying dangerous conditions would continue Sunday; Weather2day and Mavir live beach pages, current to July 4, show Mediterranean sectors already running about 100-140 centimeters. This is a low-importance but immediate public-safety update after Friday's fatal Rishon LeZion drowning. Israeli families should use lifeguarded declared beaches only and respect municipal closures, because Shabbat recreation must never outrun pikuach nefesh.
