A lion cub was found tied up in the yard of a house in a Palestinian village near Ma'ale Adumim during a police operation against criminal elements. This is the sixth lion cub discovered this year, likely smuggled into the country by drones from Egypt or Jordan. The Nature and Parks Authority updated that "the cub does not suffer from external injuries, but it is thin. After a round of comprehensive tests, we will be able to understand if it suffers from additional problems."
