Appears to have lumpy-skin with green spots on a grey body. May be the European Green Toad, but very similar to the Syrian Spadefoot Toad (Endangered species in Israel). Please help me ID this correctly.
Mediterranean region. Dry area, the only source of water in the immediate area is a spring. Lots of Pine and Cypress trees growing there. Agricultural land as well. Ground is mostly sandstone.
Photographed at night (20h49pm IDST - Israeli Daylight Saving Time) in Kibbutz Tzuba, near Jerusalem, Israel. This specific toad was photographed along a road leading to a set of ruins. Later, 1st September the same kind of toad was spotted and photographed right at the spring site, only a couple hundred meters away from first toad sighting. Also at night.
