Director of the Nature and Parks Authority: “Significant Tourism Anchors”
The director of the Nature and Parks Authority, Raya Shurki, commented on the second phase of site reopenings in the north, emphasizing their importance for the region’s recovery. She stated, “The nature and heritage sites in the north are significant tourism anchors in the recovery process.” Shurki added that the Authority’s employees have worked tirelessly to protect the reserves during this challenging period and prepare them to welcome the public.

Safety Guidelines for Visitors
The Nature and Parks Authority reminds the public that due to the recent conflict, unexploded missiles or other suspicious objects may be found in open areas. Visitors must avoid any contact with such objects, and in case of identifying an unexploded missile or suspicious item, report immediately to the Israel Police at 100 and move to a safe area.
