Yoram Horowitz, Tel Aviv District Director at the Ministry of Environmental Protection, told Walla!
Because back in 2014, the ministry suspected that there were two areas where there was evidence of explosives, but an inspection conducted at the same time revealed that there was no concern.
In the past year, however, other information has been received from the RPM, following new measurements and aerial photographs. In a previous inspection, it turns out, there was an error in deciphering. The explosives were taken from the dismantled mines, but there may be some hazardous material left.
He stressed that despite the low level of risk, the Ministry of Environmental Protection supports the mayor's decision to close the park. Tomorrow, professional teams will arrive at the park "to formulate the necessary actions, decide whether to proceed with the closure of the park, what will be the size of the closure and what are the immediate actions that need to be taken."
