Locusts Descend on Ein Gedi

(Ha'aretz)Amiram Cohen and Nir Hasson - Locusts continue to swarm into Israel because Egypt is not tackling the problem, Dr. Eldad Landes, director of the Plant Protection and Inspection Services, charged Wednesday. The locusts entered Egypt from Libya and are currently located along the entire Egyptian coastline. A large swarm landed Thursday in the Ein Gedi nature reserve near the Dead Sea.
