Israel is preparing for elevated air pollution levels across the country from this weekend through Monday, as dust carried by southwestern winds from North Africa is expected to impact air quality. Authorities have issued warnings, particularly for sensitive groups such as those with heart or lung conditions, the elderly, children, and pregnant women, urging them to avoid strenuous outdoor activities. The general public is also advised to limit outdoor physical activity during this period. Updates will be provided based on data from air quality monitoring stations throughout the country.
