(Times of Israel) Aaron Kalman and Ron Friedman - Southern Israel's skies were blackened Tuesday by millions of locusts as the largest infestation to hit the country in decades swarmed across the Egyptian border. Israeli cropdusting planes and trucks sprayed a four-square-mile area with pesticides on Wednesday in an effort to cull the plague. Omri Eytana, a farmer from the Nitzana area, told Army Radio his tomato crops were unharmed because they are protected under nylon covers, but potato crops in the area were badly damaged. The giant swarm landed on fields across the Negev and caused damage. Potato farmer Pablo Rosenblit told Channel 2 News, "I can already see the devastation and they just landed minutes ago. This spells total crop destruction." The locusts also caused damage to fields in Gaza. 2013-03-06 00:00:00Full Article
