Israel's Ministry of Health has reported a suspected case of Ebola involving a young man who recently returned from the Democratic Republic of Congo. The individual presented with a fever and has been placed in isolation under medical observation. The ministry emphasized that this is currently only a suspicion and that no confirmed cases of Ebola have been recorded in Israel. The patient has been transferred to the Sheba Medical Center, designated as a specialized facility for handling such suspected cases, and is being treated in strict accordance with protocols for highly contagious diseases.
This marks the second such suspected case in Israel within the past two months. Previously, two individuals were hospitalized with similar suspicions, but both diagnoses were ultimately ruled out after testing.
