Rishon LeZion Shoreline Underwater Munitions Clearance Project

planned

A project led by Israel's National Mine Action Authority and the National Institute of Oceanography to clear unexploded grenades and other munitions from about 2 kilometers of shoreline in Rishon LeZion, Israel. The initiative aims to return beach area to residents by mapping and clearing underwater munitions accumulated from decades of firing practice. The project involves placing and retrieving mock munitions to gather data for clearance planning, with the goal to start clearing by the end of 2027 and expand the shoreline by 150 meters.
