As if the story wasn't funny enough by itself, Emperor Misha has to add commentary like this:

(drink alert!)

...have become so daring they have even infiltrated military barracks and bitten at least two heavily armed combat soldiers - one in the ear and the other on the lip, the Israeli newspaper Maariv reported.

The rodents have grown so large that soldiers are calling them the Hebrew equivalent of "crats" due to their increasing similarity to the stray cats, Maariv reported.

Misha: Over here, we call them Democrats.
