1. dogs are also very effective in detecting bombs
Scott ,   Ramat Gan, Israel   (02.09.13)
A dog's sense of smell is more than 1000 times more sensitive than a humans & can pinpoint explosives from blocks away. I don't understand why they aren't used more often in preventing terrorist attacks.
2. Dogs Will Be invaluable in Discovering Hizbollah Rat Holes
Chaim Ben Kahan ,   Efrat, Israel   (02.09.13)
The dogs will sniff out bombs and the terrorist who plant them, but we should not put these dogs in danger. The IDF first must pepper Hizbollah positions with artillery for weeks and then send in the dogs, the tanks and everything the IDF has in it's power to destroy Hizbollah terrorist.
3. Food

Do Oketz dogs eat kosher dog food?
4. Israel never heard of military secret ?
ORA ,   JERUSALEM   (02.09.13)
5. Terrible mistake
Istvan ,   BUDAPEST HUNGARY   (02.10.13)
The soldiers' face is covered but the dogs' not. What if they will be recognised by hezbollah terrorists ?
