An IDF soldier was seriously injured Wednesday when he was bit by an animal at a base in central Israel.
The soldier, who serves at the Kfir Brigade's training base in the Jordan Valley, complained to the base's doctor he was in pain and feeling unwell.
An examination found he was likely bitten without being noticed while he was asleep by an animal that has not yet been identified.
The soldier was evacuated to the hospital for treatment.
