An elderly man was hospitalized in critical condition on October 5 after being bitten by a venomous snake in an open area near Kibbutz Ein Zivan, located in the northern Golan Heights. The 72-year-old victim was transported to Ziv Hospital in Safed.
Magen David Adom, the emergency medical service, reported that the man's condition is severe and unstable. Snake activity typically increases during warmer weather, with more incidents reported in the summer than in winter. However, venomous snakebites are also relatively common in Israel during the autumn months, prompting a reminder for the public to exercise caution.
