Sea of Galilee Turns Red: Algae, Not Apocalypse | JQJO

The Sea of Galilee in Israel recently exhibited unusual red patches on its surface, sparking religious interpretations and viral social media discussions. While some connected the phenomenon to biblical prophecies of divine judgment, the Israeli Water Authority attributed the red coloration to a non-toxic pigment secreted by a type of algae (Botryococcus braunii) in response to intense sunlight. Tests confirmed no health risks, reassuring concerned citizens despite online anxieties.
