Haaretz update: "Four people killed near Yeruham after vehicles they were travelling in crashed into a camel (Israel Radio)".

This sounds like a joke, but it isn't funny. Yeruham is near Dimona, in the Negev desert in the South of Israel. You know how often we travel down to Mitzpe Ramon, which is a bit further South. We're always amused by the signposts warning us of camels and sometimes deer (they have cute drawings of a camel or a deer. At one place, literally in the middle of nowhere, desert all around, there is a signpost warning of camel crossing and immediately afterwards, children crossing). But apparently there have been seven road accidents this year, caused by camels wandering into the road at night.

Like crazy Israeli drivers aren't enough!
