Tel Aviv [Israel], January 1 (ANI/TPS): Israel's Ministry of Environmental Protection and Ministry of Health warn of potential exposure to possible asbestos hazards following the war in the North.

As a result of direct hits, blasts, and shrapnel during the war, asbestos cement roofs were damaged, primarily in the northern region. Physical damage to a structure containing asbestos can cause the release of asbestos fibers that were trapped in the asbestos sheets, becoming a hazard as defined by law.
