JERUSALEM, Jan 17 (Reuters) - An Israeli exploration group reported on Sunday it has discovered another large natural gas field off Israel’s Mediterranean coast.

The group, lead by Isramco Negev and Modiin Energy, said that a resource report showed there could be an estimated total of 8.9 trillion cubic feet of natural gas at the Daniel east and west fields.
