Municipality inspectors from Haifa prevented on Tuesday evening a woman from Nazareth in her 30s from drowning herself and her two children, aged three and seven, near a local beach.
The inspectors, who were on routine patrol, spotted the mother and her two children entering the water in their clothes. They called the woman back to shore but she did not answer them. They then got into the water and pulled the three out. The woman is being question at the police station in Haifa.
