A report warns that an invasive species of dangerous fish, identified as the pufferfish, has reached Israeli beaches. The fish, which arrived via the Suez Canal, is known for its venom and aggressive behavior, posing a threat to swimmers. As The Zioneer reported on July 6, the Israel Nature and Parks Authority had previously warned the public not to touch pufferfish carcasses found on beaches after two dogs were poisoned. Earlier this month, swimming advisories were also issued for the Mediterranean due to high waves and rip currents. The Nature Authority has urged beachgoers to exercise caution and report any sightings of the fish.
