31. Not surprised...
Health inspector ,   Israel   (02.09.12)
Very poor hygiene...
32. "We're so scared that we can't sleep at night"
Sarah B ,   U.S.A./ Israel   (02.09.12)
I feel safe already with wimpy soldiers like that...
33. the GIRBIL pictured above ,
UNCLE JOE ,   CONN USA   (02.09.12)
ISN'T THAT HASSAN NASRALLAH JUST COME OUT OF HIS HOLE ,he looks very scared and confused being outside .the others with him must be totally bewildered . i think what happened was that they were trying to run away before the fall of assad. VERY AMAZING HOW SMART LITTLE MICE CAN BE . but not smart enough ,they ran in the wrong direction . UNLESS ISRAEL HAS A REALLY GREAT PIED PIPER .
34. These are terrorist rats from Gaza
Maxim ,   ISRAELOAMERICAN   (02.09.12)
Terrorizing our beautiful lady soldiers in their military base. This calls for an all-out opreation by the IDF to exterminate two different deadly species of rats. The Gaza sewer invasion rats and the Hamas human rats.
35. Sounds like the problem is too few cats.
Rivkah   (02.09.12)
36. "no price too high"
tom ,   toronto, canada   (02.09.12)
where is noam shalit when the soldiers really need him?
37. Are these Hamas rats perchance?
anti rodents   (02.09.12)
That would surely explain this invasion. Maybe Mahmood in London has got a realistic "islamic" solution to this problem; we also need one for the pullulating Hezb. plague.
38. BEN JABO lurking at #24
Cameron ,   USA   (02.09.12)
A shining crucifix might strike me down, son, but I suspect it would finish you off much faster than me.
39. There are not enough cats in Israel?
Daniel ,   San Diego, CA, USA   (02.09.12)
Guys, come one. There are huge numbers of cats in Israel. There is no doubt that many of these cats would love to be adopted by the IDF base in exchange for some water bowls and a warm place to sleep. They would be more than happy to help with the rat problem.
40. perfect solution
Norman ,   Asdod   (02.09.12)
Pied Piper of Hamelin would be a good solution
41. #5 - grandma
A Jerusalemite ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (02.09.12)
Only very specific breeds of dogs will attack rats - mostly certain small terriers - and - they need to be fed! Cats are a better bet by far - but then again they must come from a rat-catching family to be effective. Just FYI
42. cats will help a bit, but...
Bluegrass Picker ,   Nashville   (02.09.12)
...snakes will actually do the better job. And snakes cannot transmit rabies. Just wait until the first Chaiyellet dies of rabies, then the incriminations will flow like unpeaceful waters.
43. Romans had the same issue...
Potash Katiftof ,   Safed, Israel   (02.09.12)
The romans also had a problem with rats thousands of years ago in Jerusalem and Judea and they brought in tons of cats to manage the problem, and the street cats in Jerusalem are decedents of those cats from roman times, at least some of them.
44. Whats the big deal when I was in the IDF
Dyslexic.......... ,   Israel..   (02.09.12)
we had rats just give them something too eat ,then they go too sleep and leave you alone,or do what they do in India they eat them tasty too.
45. The best way is ratting with dogs
Barry ,   UK   (02.09.12)
That's what they do in the English countryside - there are special dogs bred for that like Jack Russell terriers. They tear those rats to bits. That's what they need - packs of dogs.
46. No 1 - Holy Warriors
Emma ,   London   (02.09.12)
I presume you are referring to the Syrian forces attacking civilians in Homs.
47. They are a new Mossad experiment
zionist forever   (02.09.12)
Mossad have just invented some spy rats and they are testing them at IDF bases before being sent to Gaza, Saudi Arabia and Iran. Spy squirrels in Iran Spy pigeons in Iran Spy vultures in Saudi Arabia Vipers trained to attack palestinians but leave settlers alone Sharks to destroy the Egyptian tourist industry so everybody will go to Eilat instead. I would have thought rats are the natural progression for Mossad but before they send their new secret weapon into action they want to test it.
48. get some cats
(02.09.12)
49. Bring in a Large Number of Cats
Linda Rivera ,   New York, USA   (02.09.12)
They will kill off the rats quickly.
50. A very easy solution
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (02.09.12)
Round upf the rats, the can become protein in the diet of terrorist prisoners, sort of like feeding rats with rats..Save a portion for Cameron
51. No 47 - Ha, ha, how true
Emma ,   London   (02.09.12)
If they had been on an Arab army base they would be claiming it was a Zionist conspiracy (and they would believe their own lies)!
52. good comment
yousef ,   palstine_jordan   (02.10.12)
every thing against isralely country call it terrorism Until the victims of childrens and presoners who vave children and dereat for good pelistine life
53. arab army
yousef ,   jordan   (02.10.12)
if rats are in Arab army base they will eat them
54. Shut up...
Yahia ,   Cairo.egypt   (02.10.12)
Shut up... You do not know anything about Arab and their morals read about them and talk about them Do not be fool .....
