Kinneret Jackal Suspected of Rabies After Doga Beach Attack Remains at Large
Following a jackal attack at Doga Beach on the Sea of Galilee, 11 people were evacuated for medical treatment. The Ministry of Health and the Israel Nature and Parks Authority issued a public warning about the animal, which is suspected of being rabid and has not yet been captured.
The ministry said rabies is a dangerous and fatal disease, and urged anyone who may have been exposed to seek immediate help and report the incident to the local health bureau. The warning came after the attack prompted concern that the animal could still pose a risk to beachgoers and nearby residents.
Officials also repeated standard instructions for possible exposure: in cases of a bite, scratch, or contact with an unfamiliar animal, wash the area thoroughly with soap and water and go without delay for medical treatment.
