Sue Surkes is The Times of Israel's environment reporter
Another wild monkey is found overnight abandoned in the central city of Rishon LeZion.
Tomer Nisiman, a vet with the Israel Nature and Parks Authority, says the animal has a large cut on its left arm which was badly stitched up and has become infected.
To date, 19 wild monkeys, and four lion cubs, have been confiscated as part of a campaign against the illegal wildlife trade.
