Jerusalem - An Israeli woman gave birth Sunday to a big but health baby boy who weighed in at 5.25 kilos, Israel Radio reported.

The 26-year-old mother, who had a natural childbirth, said she and the baby were doing well.

"I feel great," said the woman, a resident of northern Israel who gave birth in Tiberius just off the Sea of Galilee.

"It was not a very hard," she added, saying that this was her second child.

The broadcaster reported that the birth apparently broke a local record. (dpa)
