Yulia, an endangered seal who become a local celebrity after visiting Israeli beaches, has now surfaced in the Gaza Strip.

The Kan public broadcaster quotes security Israeli sources saying they were updated by unspecified figures in the Hamas-run enclave about Yulia’s arrival, while noting that the military liaison to the Palestinians published instructions last week on how Gazans should act in her proximity.
