Israeli Soldiers Wake up to Rats on Their Faces

Rats and dogs are attacking Israeli soldiers at the Netzarim crossing that divides Gaza according to the Israeli Walla website.

The situation has become so bad the Israeli soldiers are complaining more and more to their superior officers about the lack of hygiene in their headquarters.

According to the website, soldiers are complaining that a large number of mice and rats in the area looking for food and intruding into the outposts where the troops are staying. Soldiers are also fearful from the increase in diseases because of the lack of sanitation.

Walla stated that one of the soldiers said a pack of dogs attacked him. “There were also cases when we woke up to a rat running on our faces, soldiers who turned an entire area into a huge mess,” he said.

Also other soldiers claim there is a phenomenon of dog packs or stray dogs, probably not vaccinated, and some of them tried to attack soldiers who had to use live fire to defend themselves. In one case, soldiers saw a dog carrying a human skull.

Reserve soldiers said that in many places in the “corridor” there are no toilets, so the soldiers in the large outposts defecate in bags or bottles.

The UN agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) sounded the alarm on Saturday over a rapidly escalating humanitarian catastrophe in the Gaza Strip.

“All basic supplies are running out in Gaza. It means babies, children are going to bed hungry,” Juliette Touma, the agency’s director of communications, said in a statement.

“Six weeks into the Israeli-imposed siege blocking the entry of aid and commercial supplies, food stocks are nearly gone, bakeries closed, and hunger is spreading,” the agency also noted.

The UNRWA emphasized that “immediate action is needed to prevent a deepening humanitarian crisis.”

The Israeli army renewed a deadly assault on Gaza on March 18, shattering the ceasefire and prisoner exchange agreement that took hold in January.

More than 50,900 Palestinians, most of them women and children, have been killed in Gaza in a brutal Israeli onslaught since October 2023.

The International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants last November for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant for war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza.

Israel also faces a genocide case at the International Court of Justice for its war on the enclave.
