Not only in Haifa: the wild boars also entered Tiberias, and the residents are worried

Groups of wild boars began to roam the houses in the city's residential neighborhoods.

"We have small children who are afraid to leave the house, and rightly so," said a Tiberias resident, wondering if there was a connection between the sudden appearance of the pigs and the operations to capture them in Haifa.

"It seems strange, they are not afraid to approach humans"

Groups of wild boars have begun to enter residential neighborhoods in Tiberias and wander among the houses - and residents are worried.

"You don't want to live with such a nuisance," said Oshri Weizmann, a resident of the city.

Weizmann fears if the pigs will start entering the homes of the residents.

"We have small children who are afraid to leave the house and rightly so," he said, "I do not want to think God forbid that a wild boar will attack a small child."

The neighborhoods up in the city of Tiberias are surrounded by open areas, agricultural fields and a wooded area - which constitute wildlife habitats.

However, no sights are known from the past of herds of wild boars roaming these areas of the city.

Tiberias residents are wondering if there is a connection between the sudden appearance of wild boars in the city and the operations to capture them in Haifa and release them in areas far from the city.

"It looks weird," Weizmann explained.

"The pigs we see in Tiberias are adult pigs and in their behavior it is very noticeable that they are not afraid to approach humans."

According to him, it seems that the wild boars already lived in the vicinity of a residential settlement and became accustomed to humans.

However, no claim or confirmation has been found for this claim.
