Two attempted jackal attacks were reported at Doga Beach on the Sea of Galilee (Kinneret) late Friday night, local reports indicate. The incidents occurred a day after an attack at the same beach that left nine people injured. No new injuries have been reported in these latest attempts. The Kinneret Cities Union chairman, Yossi Neba, had earlier called on the Nature and Parks Authority to urgently cull the jackal population and deploy night inspectors for the summer season, as The Zioneer reported on June 13. The Health Ministry has also warned of rabies exposure in the area after 11 people were bitten by a jackal suspected of rabies on Tuesday evening, and another rabies-suspected animal was spotted at Doga Beach in Ashkelon. The source of the latest reports is a single local report, with no official confirmation or casualty figures yet available.
