Israel's Health Ministry is reporting that another individual who recently returned from the Democratic Republic of the Congo is being tested for possible Ebola after developing a fever and other symptoms. The patient has been placed in isolation at Ichilov Medical Center in Tel Aviv under protocols for high-risk infectious diseases, with results expected in the coming days. The ministry emphasized the case remains unconfirmed, noting that three previous suspected Ebola cases in Israel since June all tested negative. Health officials say strict isolation procedures are standard practice for any traveler showing symptoms after visiting Ebola-affected regions, as authorities continue to monitor for potential imported cases amid ongoing outbreaks in Central Africa.
