How many people do you need to put a camel into a car? No, this isn't the start of a joke, but a real event that happened at around noon on Tuesday in the Judean Desert.

Chagai Tal from Hod Hasharon and his friend Shachar went on a Jeep tour, which was supposed to go from Kfar Hanokdim near Arad to Metzukei Dragot. On the way near Nahal Chaver, they found a group of Bedouins spreading out a blanket for a wounded camel that was apparently hurt in a rock slide.

"We saw eight Bedouins with blankets, trying to move the camel," Chagai told Walla! Travel.

According to Tal, they didn't see how the camel was injured, but "we saw them trying to help it," he remembered. "We helped them carry it and then they asked if we would help them transport it in our car."

"We stopped the car, got out some belts and helped them pull the camel for a quarter of an hour until we got to a path. Then we all looked at each other and wondered what to do next."

"We took them to their encampment."

Tal and his friend then started to make room for the camel in the trunk of the car. "I had to take out the seats and other equipment in order to make room but there was no other way, we had to evacuate it," he said.

According to Tal, after loading the camel into the trunk, another unbelievable thing happened: eight bedouins got into the car as well. In order to accompany the camel, they hung onto both sides of the car. "Some were holding onto a rail from outside the car and some were inside with the camel. We took him to their encampment, about 4 km away," he described and joked, "Afterwards they even had the nerve to ask us to take them back to the site where they left their donkeys."

"They told me that when a camel breaks a leg, it's done for."

The Bedouins are from the Ka'abane tribe which lives in the village of Dakayke (they pronounce it "Dagayge") near the South Hebron Hills. After the camel was evacuated, the Bedouins invited the two Israelis to be their guests and have a meal. "But we only drank tea and coffee and talked about soccer," said Chagai, "we didn't have time for a full meal."

According to him, while none of the Bedouins spoke Hebrew, his friend communicated with them in his broken Arabic. "All in all it was a nice experience," he added.

On Wednesday morning Chagai washed off the traces of camel blood in his car. "I washed my car today because we got back late yesterday," he explained.

And what happened to the Camel?

"I hope the camel has peace. They told me that when a camel breaks a leg, it's done for, but it was only a scratch, so it'll live."

Man Stung to Death by Ancestors Who Reincarnated as Bees

Man is stung to death while TALKING to a swarm of bees he believed were the reincarnation of his ancestors

In some African cultures, ancestors are believed to be reincarnated as bees or lizards
The bees or lizards visit the family to tell them to perform any outstanding rituals
Traditional healers tell families to leave sugar and Brandy in front of the bees

A man has been stung to death after trying to talk to a swam of bees he believed were reincarnations of his ancestors in South Africa.

Nkosentsha Njimbana, 58, died at his Zalara home outside Qonce on November 5 after speaking to the bees during a traditional ceremony.

In some African cultures, it is believed that ancestors visit their living relatives in the form of bees or lizards, often to warn the family to perform the correct traditional rituals.

Bees had nested in Nkosentsha's property in Eastern Cape, which his brother said he took as a sign that his ancestors had come to visit him.

In some African cultures, it is believed that ancestors visit their living relatives in the form of bees, often to warn the family to perform traditional rituals

Traditional spokesperson Loyiso Nqevu, speaking to News24, said the incident reveals the wrath of the ancestors.

After consulting a sangoma, a traditional healer among the Zulu peoples, Nkosentsha returned to perform the 'ukugxotha iinyosi' ritual — known as the dispersing of the bees — to try and interpret their message.

Nqevu said failing to decode the ancestors' message may have caused the bees to turn on him.

'This is the most painful thing ever to befall our family,' the man's brother Mandla said. 'We don't understand why they were so angry with him, yet he had welcomed them to his home. He never tried to violently chase them away.'

The spirits of ancestors can also be reincarnated into water monitor lizards, according to the traditional healers.

Nqevu said once a water monitor lizard or bees enter a home, the family must consult traditional healers to understand what ceremony needs to be performed.

One method is for the family leader to go to the swarm of bees with a glass of soda drink, sugar in a saucer and a glass of brandy, and place them in front of the bees, he said.

Many of the ceremonies are expensive, with families having to save up for months to afford them.

Xhosa communities, which include former South African leader Nelson Mandela, practice traditional medicine as well as a number of rituals, such as circumcision.

'This is the welcoming ceremony. If you are a Xhosa person, you don't run away and call municipal workers to remove the bees because bees are your visitors,' Nqevu said.

The family then make umqombothi — a type of traditional beer — which takes around four days to get ready, before offering it to the bees, he said.

The bees were supposed to fly away at this point in the ceremony, but instead they attacked Njimbana.

Nqevu said this is likely because the family may have been too hasty to get rid of the bees without trying to fully understand the ancestor's message.

Eastern Cape police spokesperson Brigadier Thembinkosi Kinana said Tamara police have launched an inquiry.
