There were no injuries as dozens of unsecured missiles fell off an Israeli transport this week.
The accident happened after IDF troops loaded up the shipment, intended for an Iron Dome installation in the Negev, but then forgot to tie them down.
A senior IDF spokesperson claimed that he is not surprised. "That Bekaa Valley Blonde is everywhere. And these young conscripts, they are not good for shit. Half of them are religious fanatics and the other half are stoned all the time. Today we saw what can happen when the stoned ones load the trucks."
Officials with the Defense Ministry refused to comment, but sources say that it is well known that Hezbollah is behind the trafficking of Bekaa valley hashish into Israel.
IDF chief Maj. General Ido Nehoshtan has ordered a complete halt to all missile-loading activities until the completion of a full governmental inquiry.
While I don't mean to second guess the Major General, I do think this is a bit of an over-reaction. Something simple like having the driver check the load before he pulls out of the warehouse works well on the civilian side, regardless of how stoned the warehouse workers are.
Should work for the IDF too. No government inquiry needed.
