A Lebanese monkey that escaped last week from a farm in Bint Jbeil has yet to be captured, despite multiple sightings in northern Israel and southern Lebanon.
Videos and images shared by Israeli residents show the renegade monkey roaming around farmland and swinging from balconies. Israeli media Tuesday published a map of at least three reported spottings - two in Israel and one in Lebanon. A local Lebanese news site reported a fourth citing just north of the southern village of Aita Shaab.

The monkey is on the lam from a farm in the Bint Jbeil village of Qouzah, called the “Ship of Peace,” which a French nun named Sister Beatrice Mauger set up last year on a piece of land owned by the Maronite Church as a safe space for people of all faiths.
As of Tuesday evening, Israeli media reported, the monkey was still on the loose. The local Lebanese news site offered unspecified reward for whoever finds him.
