‘Crats’: rodents harass Israeli soldiers
Israeli soldiers stationed in the tense West Bank city of Hebron have recently been battling an enemy they define as more scary then Palestinian militants: enormous rats.
The rats, lured by piles of garbage in Hebron’s streets, have become so daring they have even infiltrated military barracks and bitten at least two heavily armed combat soldiers - one in the ear and the other on the lip, the Israeli newspaper Maariv reported.
The rodents have grown so large that soldiers are calling them the Hebrew equivalent of “crats” due to their increasing similarity to the stray cats, Maariv reported.
I’m waiting for the Palesitinains to claim that these giant rats are mutants caused by some secret Israeli radioactive/biochem weapon. Something absurd like that.
On a more serious note, I eagerly await a post from Publius & Co. (who is a major rat blogger for those who don’t know)
