A cliff collapsed yesterday (Thursday) on a beach near the promenade in the center of Netanya, no injuries were reported in the incident.
After the collapse, free blocks of stone remained at the top of the cliff, as well as large parts of the upper kurkar layer, so that another collapse could occur at any moment, and therefore the area is fenced off and closed to civilian traffic.
The collapsed cliff, whose weight is estimated at hundreds of tons, is part of the chain of dangerous cliffs in Israel.
The cliff area is south of the breakwaters being built these days, and in this section a total of six additional breakwaters are expected to be built.
