Second wave of locusts hits Israel as cropdusters spray in south
By Amiram Cohen, Haaretz Correspondent

The wave of locusts that hit Israel over the weekend
intensified Saturday evening, with a fresh swarm of
relatively large locusts being spotted over the
southern city of Eilat and with the insects reaching
as far north as the southern section of the dead sea.
Swarms of large locusts landed on Saturday evening
near the Kibbutzim of Faran in the Arava region
and Neot Hakikar south of the Dead Sea.

Agriculture Ministry workers have been scanning
the area in order to find the exact location of the swarms.

A fresh wave of relatively large locusts were
spotted flying over the southern city of Eilat
earlier on Saturday. This was the second
wave of locusts to have hit the city in as many days.
The swarms came in from the north west and
were seen at the outskirts of an Eilat neighborhood.
This swarm then headed north and landed
near the Kibbutz of Faran in the Arava.

(my guess are they in town for a belated Arafat funeral ?)

Just wait until the 15-pound METAL ones arrive.
X-Day... it's a-comin'.

and imagine world peace,
think of how serene and quiet it would be
until the looting started.
