“If the infection spreads among ten soldiers in an infantry company, and they develop a fever after their temperature reaches 40 degrees Celsius, and they start having diarrhea every 20 minutes, then they are no longer fit to fight and they expose themselves to the risk of death,” he pointed out.

This might have to do with food poisoning https://www.middleeastmonitor.com/20231205-idf-soldiers-hit-by-serious-outbreak-of-food-poisoning/

As one wise person once said:

"Was it the food or was it cowardice?"

      In the very near future an IDF spokesman in on MSNBC...

      Spokesman: "A minor - very minor - number of soldiers are experiencing skin rashes."

      Anchor: "There have been reports that the skin condition could be described as boils."

      Spokesman: "A boil is an inflamed pus-filled swelling on the skin. Swelling is present and there's a pus-like substance." He scratches himself. "But they are not boils." He scratches himself again.

      Anchor: "You appear to be scratching yourself. "

      Spokesman: "I am not. And if I am - it was a psychosomatic reflex. Nothing more." He scratches himself again.

      Anchor: "Do you have a skin ra—"

      Frogs start raining down inside the studio where the spokesman is. The feed is cut.

            Like I just said, I don't like watching ppl suffer too much... I'd just want shoot them dead and not have to look at them....

            Plus, if you're talking about literal plagues, then biological warfare doesn't sit well for me

                I guess the least I can say is that they deserved it (the diarrhea and diseases) for their actions,

                but the concept of the 10 plagues, specifically the boils, imposed on Ancient Egypt still horrifies me, from when I was a child, and that, coupled with my anti-sanction stance as an anti-imperialist, makes me believe the 10 plagues are kinda like a metaphor to the horrors of western-imposed sanctions...

                (Yes, I know the Bible may not be a historically-accurate book but in all its context, the concept still scares me)

    People don't realize it but the primary goal of October 7th was to steal all of the immodium out of Israel before unleashing The Virus.

      I remember all the NAFO dogs laughing at how Russia was having logistical problems on a front hundreds of kms long. Now Israel can't even stop it's soldiers from shitting themselves to death within walking distance of their own bases.

      Embarrassing.

    lathe-of-heaven This will turn out to be the fault of amerikkka cheaping out on aid they sent. The Democrats will in turn, use this as evidence that Joe Biden opposed the genocide.

      I mean, did they send the refrigerators... cuz faulty refrigeration may have something to do with that...

      However, according to doctors, poor storage, transportation and preparation have caused an increase in gastrointestinal diseases, severe diarrhoea and high temperatures among soldiers.

    I met an old man when I was a kid who said he almost died of dysentery.

    During the Long March, in 1935.

    How is the US funded IDF suffering from the same problem?
