Health Ministry warns of rabid dog in the Shomron town of Bartaa

Israel's Health Ministry issued a warning Monday evening about a rabid dog in Bartaa, a town in northern Samaria. Residents are urged to avoid contact with the animal and report any sightings to authorities.

The Health Ministry's alert follows a similar rabid wolf report in Kiryat Shmona last month (as The Zioneer reported), but this case is in a different region — Bartaa in northern Samaria. No further details on the animal's status or any bites have been released. Residents are urged to avoid contact and report sightings.
