Jerusalem’s Gazelle Valley Park reopens to visitors more than a month after it was closed to protect its herd of gazelles from a national outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease.
As a precaution, the public will be required to enter through one gate, and to walk and push strollers, wheelchairs and other mobility aids through a disinfection station.
