		</div><p>Israel, a world leader in coronavirus vaccinations, has reported its highest daily infection rate in three months as it scrambles to contain the spread of the new Delta variant.</p>
<p>Authorities are racing to vaccinate children and are considering tighter travel restrictions at the country’s main airport.</p>
<p>The health ministry reported 307 new cases on Wednesday, the highest in nearly three months and a rise from 293 newly diagnosed cases a day earlier. The health ministry reportedly expects those numbers to jump in coming days, raising concerns that Israel is plunging back towards a crisis.</p>
<p>In recent months, Israel has reopened businesses, schools and event venues, lifting nearly all restrictions after it inoculated some 85% of the adult population. It is now seen as an early-warning system of sorts for other nations.</p>
<p>Prime Minister Naftali Bennett has announced a drive to inoculate thousands of children by mid-month.</p>
<p>Though worrying, the trend still shows little uptick when it comes to deaths from the virus. In the past two weeks, the ministry recorded only one.</p>
<p>In Israel, 5.1 million people, among its population of 9.3 million, have received the required double dose of vaccinations. Another 400,000 have received at least one dose.</p>
<p>Israel recorded its highest number of vaccinations of children this week and has reimposed a rule requiring people to wear masks indoors.</p>
<p>Mr Bennett has for the first time appointed a coronavirus commissioner to manage arrivals at the main gateway into Israel, Ben Gurion International Airport, which he called “a huge national vulnerability”.</p>
<p>Interior minister Ayelet Shaked said officials are prepared to close the airport if the trend worsens.</p>
<p>Israel’s Haaretz newspaper reported that officials are considering bringing back the “green pass” system that differentiates between vaccinated and non-vaccinated citizens in access to certain venues and activities.</p>
<p>Israel’s government last week postponed the planned reopening of the country to vaccinated tourists over concerns about the spread of the Delta variant, which was first identified in India.</p>
