The study presents a review of historical tsunamis in the Mediterranean region (more than 500 events). Numerical modeling of the tsunami in Aegean Sea (July of 1956) is carried out by means of original algorithms developed in ICT SB RAS, which have been modified and carefully verified on model problems. Based on historical data analysis, locations of the critical for the Israeli coast tsunamigenic earthquake sources are determined. Their intensities and shapes have been designed to generate extreme events, which can pose a potential threat to the coastal zone. These events and their possible effects on the Israeli and Egyptian coasts are modeled.
