A Haifa court ordered the lifting of key restrictions that have been placed on the media regarding the mysterious oil spill that has contaminated Israel's shoreline over the weekend.
The judge said that while the actual details on the investigation must remain under wraps, findings that could be deduced independently and through open sources can be published.
As of Tuesday, it was unclear what merchant vessel was responsible for the spill and what flag it was bearing, although speculation dominated social media.
