Israel Launches Foul Smelling Crowd Control Weapon Called Skunk

Posted on October 6, 2012

Reuters reports that Israel has developed a foul smelling crowd control weapon called Skunk. Skunk is a liquid that smells like a combination of rotting corpses, unwashed socks and sewage. The stinky liquid is sprayed from canisters on Skunk trucks. Israel has been spraying the liquid on protesters in the West Bank.

Reuters quoted the owner of a gas station that frequently gets blasted with the liquid. Here is how he describes the odor of the liquid: "It's beyond foul water, like a dead body and rotting food together, which no soap or perfume can take off - I'm hit with it and nobody goes near me for days."

NMA News has animated the skunk weapon story. Take a look:
