An Israel Electric Corporation worker who was present at a recent incident in Rehovot told Channel 12 that while he has encountered snakes inside electrical cabinets before, he has never seen one of such size crawling along live power cables.
An Israel Electric Corporation worker, Boris Bandersky, who was present during the incident in Rehovot, told Channel 12 that while he has previously encountered snakes inside electrical cabinets during routine work, he has never seen one of this size crawling along power cables. The snake, described as a large viper, forced the crew to stop repairs and summon a snake catcher to the scene. The incident is a rare wildlife encounter in an urban industrial zone, and no injuries were reported. The snake was safely removed by the professional catcher. As The Zioneer reported earlier this hour, the incident occurred during a maintenance shift in Rehovot, and the crew's work was delayed until the area was declared safe.
