ISRAEL’S GIANT STINK BOMB

“The ever-​​ingenious inven­tors at Israel’s weapons research and devel­op­ment direc­torate have cre­ated a schoolboy’s dream,” the Independent del­cares, “the ulti­mate stink bomb, with a dis­gust­ing smell that lingers in its victim’s cloth­ing for up to five years.“

The foul-​​smelling liq­uid squirted by angry or fright­ened skunks at their vic­tims was analysed by Israeli defence sci­en­tists and a syn­thetic ver­sion cre­ated for use in a weapon they call the “skunk bomb”. Fired with great care, and from a respectable range, it is designed to force civil­ian pro­test­ers to disperse.

Cops in places like L.A. and South Carolina are using a sim­i­larly stank-​​ass spray to keep crack­heads out of aban­doned build­ings.
THERE’S MORE: “If used by mil­i­tary forces, it would be a vio­la­tion of the 1925 Geneva Protocol, to which Israel is a con­trat­ing party,” notes Defense Tech reader JMW.
“All weapons deliv­er­ing gasses or liq­uids, or any­thing anal­o­gous to a gas or a liq­uid, are for­bid­den. Whether the gas or liq­uid is harm­ful or not is not rel­e­vant. Such a weapon could be used by police forces uncon­nected with mil­i­tary forces.”
