What A Stink!

Border Guard uses ‘Skunk’ as new crowd-dispersal means

The Border Guard has begun using a new means of contending with riots coined "Skunk”.

The police developed this new method for scattering violent demonstrations and tested its effectivity in the last demonstration which took place in the West Bank village of Naalin.

Use of the “Skunk” is by means of an especially foul-smelling liquid spraying machine.

...On Friday, during a protest that took place near Naalin, Border Guard officers used the “skunk” for the first time in order to scatter the violent rioters in the area. Use of the new apparatus began upon receipt of all necessary authorizations and after operational, health-related and legal instruction were given by the body which created this technology.

..."Skunk” is operated by two manual systems and one water-spraying machine. However, instead of spraying water the foul-smelling material is sprayed.

The Border Guard reported that after the first usage of the “skunk” the Palestinians fled in order to shower and change clothes.
