Health officials on Tuesday evening reported the first identified case of the highly contagious delta "AY.4.2" subvariant in Israel.
The variant has recently been detected in several European countries.
The infected person is an 11-year-old boy who tested positive on his return from Moldova.
Officials are investigating whether the new strain is more virulent than the delta variant, although they have not yet expressed serious concerns about it.
