High radioactivity recorded in Israel

The Dimona nuclear plant is situated in the Negev desert


Worringly high levels of radioactivity have been discovered in southern Israel's underground water table.


According to scientific research published on Wednesday, the soaring radioactivity levels measured in the Negev Desert and in the Arava valley are caused by natural radioactive elements such as uranium and radon gas.

But Professor Avner Vengosh, who co-authored the study by Ben Gurion University, dismissed any relation between the abnormal findings and the nearby nuclear plant of Dimona, also in southern Israel.

Contaminated water?

"This phenomena has spread throughout the area," he said, referring to Jordan and Egypt's Sinai desert.

"We discovered concentrations of radium reaching up to 10 times the normal average in (Israel's) water table," he added.......cont'd

3. 12 acre underground bio weapons lab

in Ness Ziona should be of more concern

"Israel Institute of Biological Research (IIBR) in Ness Ziona has raised both international and domestic concerns. Activists within the Israeli community have recently protested the expansion of the Institute due to reports, denied by Israeli officials, of multiple injuries and deaths within the facility and one near-evacuation of the surrounding area. Tel Aviv is not a signatory to the Biological and Toxin Weapons Convention (BWC)"

and this is kind of tinfoil hat but interesting.:tinfoilhat: :tinfoilhat:
