After almost two months of Eilat residents were forced to look at the remote Eilat Bay and refrained from entering the Red Sea due to the outbreak of the Corona virus in Israel, now the blue water is purple, after swarms of giant jellyfish have reached the Gulf of Eilat.

Confrontation between Mayors and Ministry of Health on Beaches Opening: "We Can't Prevent Bathing at Sea"

Precisely in recent days, during which the Ministry of Health has allowed swimming for professional swimmers and water sports, a huge swarm of purple jellyfish have arrived in the Gulf of Eilat.

Remember, bathing on the city shores was prevented by the Department of Health's instructions given by the Corona virus, and the southern storm that hit the city in March and destroyed the beaches. Now, after the government's easing and permits granted, bathers are fearful of reaching the sea in the wake of the jellyfish, though they are purple non-seared jellyfish.
