Rabid fox found in northern Israel

The Health Ministry says a fox infected with rabies has been found in northern Israel.

The ministry says there are no reports of human infection with the deadly disease, but urges residents of the northern town of Safed to exercise caution.

“We call on anyone in the area who came into contact, or who has animals that came into contact, to urgently report to the health ministry in Safed,” the ministry says.
