Israel Employs New Anti-Riot Tool

TEL AVIV [MENL] -- Israeli security forces have launched the deployment of a
new anti-riot system.
The Israeli Border Guard has begun use of the Skunk anti-riot system,
meant to disperse demonstrators through non-lethal means. Skunk, meant to
replace the use of rubber bullets and tear gas, sprays a foul-smelling
liquid on demonstrators and rioters.
Officials said the Border Guard introduced Skunk during a
Palestinian-led demonstration against the Israeli security fence in the West
Bank on Aug. 6. They said Skunk sprayed liquid that forced Palestinian and
foreign protesters in the West Bank village of Naalin to flee.
