In recent weeks, packs of stray dogs originating from the Gaza Strip have been moving into Israeli territory and communities. The stray dogs have been reported near Kibbutz Erez, Beeri and Re’im as well as near Kfar Aza and Ein Habesor and other neighboring communities. Dr. Yehoshua Shkedi, the chief scientist of Israel’s Nature and Parks Authority, warned that these dogs not only pose a risk to humans, but were devastating to natural wildlife they prey on and spread diseases. He told reporter Arieh O’Sullivan that they must be delt with but that was difficult with a war on.
