Swarms of bees and wasps attacked an Israeli military base in the Gush Etzion area of the occupied West Bank, Shehab Wire reported. Several soldiers stationed at the facility sustained stings during the incident, which disrupted military operations inside the base.
The attack forced troops to contend with the aggressive insects while carrying out their duties. The swarms entered the base perimeter and prompted an immediate response from personnel on site. Military officials did not immediately provide an updated casualty count or assess whether the incident caused any lasting operational impact at the installation.
