The Israeli defense Forces (IDF) announced on May 10 that twelve Israeli soldiers were wounded after being attacked by hundreds of wasps in the Southern Gaza Strip.
Ten soldiers have been reportedly rushed to the Sheba Medical Center in Israel for treatment, the Jerusalem Post reported.
The military correspondent of Times of Israel posted on X saying that the incident occurred amid an operation by the Gaza Division's Southern Brigade in the border area, near the community of Nirim.
A tank had driven over a large wasp nest, leading the insects to sting the troops.
