Yossi Neba, chairman of the Kinneret Cities Union, called on the Nature and Parks Authority and veterinary services to urgently cull the jackal population in the area and deploy night inspectors for the summer season, following an attack that injured at least seven bathers overnight. 'We view the incident with concern and severity,' Neba said, 'and demand that this situation not repeat itself.'
Yossi Neba, chairman of the Kinneret Cities Union, publicly demanded Sunday that the Israel Nature and Parks Authority and the responsible veterinary services urgently cull the jackal population around Lake Kinneret (Sea of Galilee) and deploy inspectors at night through the summer. The statement follows an attack overnight Friday that injured at least seven bathers, as The Zioneer reported earlier Sunday. Neba's call represents the first formal municipal demand for action since the incident, framing it as a public-safety priority for the peak summer season at Israel's most popular natural swimming site.
