Israeli Forces Rescue Badger Caught on Syria Border Fence

(Ynet News) Ahiya Raved - IDF soldiers this week rescued a badger that was caught in the fence on the Israel-Syria border in the Golan Heights. An IDF soldier on patrol in the Tel Saki region noticed the badger struggling to get through the border fence's metal bars on the Syrian side. The Israel Nature and Parks Authority was contacted and sent a volunteer veterinarian. Uriah Vazana, an INPA park ranger, said, "We started the treatment immediately, starting with sedating the badger so she wouldn't resist our rescue attempts. After we got her out, we made sure she was unharmed and later released her near a water source in known badger territory."
