The Ministry of Agriculture of Israel has reported two incident cases of HPAI.  A turkey farm in Magal in Central Israel was depopulated with a loss of 20,000 birds.  The second case on Be’er Tuvia in Southern Israel involved 25,000 broiler breeders held under a high level of biosecurity.  Previous cases from late November onwards involved five turkey farms with a total of 50,000 birds and two broiler farms collectively with 200,000.  The report in ProMED noted that the broiler breeder farm was infected despite a high standard of biosecurity suggesting aerogenous infection introduced by migratory birds that carry H5N1 Avian Influenza virus. During 2021-2022 over a million commercial poultry were depopulated due to HPAI and extensive losses were recorded in migratory cranes.
