The northern part of Tzuk Beach in Tel Aviv was evacuated this morning after dangerous munitions were discovered on the shore and in the water, prompting a large police and bomb squad response.


Police and bomb squad units rushed to Tzuk Beach in northern Tel Aviv this morning after reports of dangerous munitions found both on the shore and in the water. Part of the beach was immediately closed to swimmers and visitors as crews worked to secure the area.

The items were discovered in two parallel locations—some washed up on the shoreline and others found in shallow water, requiring careful professional handling. Police received the initial reports a short time ago and immediately dispatched officers from the Tel Aviv North station along with the bomb disposal unit.

“Officers from Tel Aviv North station in the Yarkon district, together with police bomb technicians and additional forces, arrived at the scene and are working to isolate the area, conduct searches, and safely handle the items,” police said in a statement. “Given the danger and for public safety, part of the beach is closed at this stage to swimmers and visitors until treatment is completed and the entire area is checked.”

Police urged the public to follow officers’ instructions, stay away from the area, and not touch any suspicious objects.
