Drought conditions continue in Israel, with almost no rain recorded in the north of the country in March. The water level of the Sea of Galilee went up 2.5 inches (6 cm) over Passover week, but that was because pumping was halted for the holiday. With winter rains all but over, the lake is now 3.87 meters below capacity. For more, see this Arutz-7 article.
The fishing ban on the Sea of Galilee begins at the end of this month and the Telegraph has a new story, including interviews with a local critical of the authorities for creating the situation.
