Jerusalem, 3 November, 2026 (TPS-IL) — Israel’s Health Ministry said Tuesday that two people who recently returned from the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) are suspected of Ebola after developing fevers. Both are being transferred to isolation units at Sheba Medical Center and Ichilov Medical Center for testing and monitoring.
The ministry stressed that no Ebola cases have been confirmed in Israel and that the suspicions are still being investigated. An epidemiological investigation is underway to identify potential contacts.
More than 10,000 infections and at least 5,000 deaths have been reported in the DRC with other cases linked to the outbreak reported in neighboring Uganda, Kenya and Nigeria.
