The Biblical Zoo addressed the incident in which an employee was attacked by a tiger, stating that "A very serious incident occurred this morning at the zoo, when during a routine enrichment preparation activity for the tigers, which was taking place as part of a behind-the-scenes tour for zoo visitors, a tiger managed to exit the tiger enclosure into the inner courtyard and attack one of the zoo employees who was preparing the activity. At no point was there any physical danger to visitors, who were protected behind a glass window. With the help of Israel Police, we are now conducting a comprehensive investigation to understand how the tiger managed to escape into the courtyard. Our hearts are with the caretaker and his family, and we are praying for good news."
