Rats Bite Israeli Soldiers: A Bizarre Incident at Amiad Military Base
In a shocking and unusual incident, two Israeli soldiers at the Amiad military base in the Upper Galilee region were bitten by rats while they slept in their tent. According to the Israeli newspaper 'Yedioth Ahronoth', one soldier suffered bites to his ear, while the other had parts of his nose devoured. Surprisingly, the soldiers were unaware of the bites until they woke up to find blood covering their faces, leading to a terrifying realization of what had occurred during the night.
The incident has sparked a wave of reactions on social media, with many users mocking the soldiers' predicament.

Shami, an Arab commentator, tweeted about the potential for collective punishment, while others made light of the incident, questioning the state of the rats involved. The incident has been described as a historic moment, with some jokingly dubbing it a victory for the 'rats of Palestine'.
While the soldiers were initially treated at the base, they were later transferred to Ziv Hospital in Safed, where they received rabies vaccinations. This unusual occurrence has raised questions about the conditions at military camps and the ongoing challenges faced by soldiers stationed in the region.
