Offshore Oil Spill Hits Israel's Beaches, Devastating Wildlife
--------------------------------------------------------------

Israel is warning people to stay away from beaches after an offshore oil
spill began polluting a 100-mile stretch of Mediterranean coastline. The
massive tar slick has devastated ocean wildlife, including sea turtles
and a 55-foot fin whale that washed ashore dead in southern Israel. It's
being called one of Israel's worst-ever environmental disasters.
