Israeli soldiers on Saturday told villagers from al-Fourdess village, located near the southern West Bank city of Bethlehem, that a Lioness had escaped from the nearby settlement of Qedumem, built illegally on village land.

Witnesses reported that a large number of Israeli soldiers were seen looking for the escaped lioness on Friday night, but did not tell villagers of the dangerous animal until Saturday.

The witnesses added that the soldiers used light flares during the night to illuminate the sky in their search for the animal.

Osamah, a resident of the village of Al Fourdess, told IMEMC that a Palestinian shepherd from the village had saw the animal approaching the area.

Villagers added that they now feared both settler attacks and attacks from the potentially ferocious animal.
