An Egyptian lynx just pulled off what sounds like the plot of a bizarre action movie—it infiltrated an ‘Israeli’ military base near the Egypt-‘Israel’ border in the Mount Harif area and attacked several soldiers, leaving them injured. According to ‘Israeli’ media, the wildcat somehow found its way into a heavily guarded area and went straight for the attack.
How it got there? No one knows. But one thing’s for sure—it didn’t go unnoticed.
Egyptian Lynx Attack on ‘Israeli’ Soldiers: What Happened?
Reports from Yedioth Ahronoth state that multiple soldiers suffered injuries from the lynx before wildlife authorities stepped in. A Nature and Reserves Authority inspector arrived at the scene, captured the animal, and transferred it to a wildlife hospital for examination. No further details about its condition have been disclosed.
The Egyptian lynx, a wild feline native to desert regions, is known for its speed and stealth. Measuring between 60 to 130 cm in length and capable of reaching speeds of up to 80 km/h, it primarily preys on small animals like rodents. While these cats are skilled hunters, attacks on humans are incredibly rare, making this incident all the more unusual.
Did the Egyptian Lynx Cross the Border?
‘Israeli’ media speculated that the lynx crossed over from Egypt, though no actual evidence supports this claim. The border area is home to various predators and non-predatory wildlife, meaning encounters with wild animals aren’t unheard of. However, an attack of this nature, especially inside a military base, is something completely unexpected.
The Internet Reacts: A Meme-Worthy Moment
While the soldiers involved may not have found the situation amusing, social media certainly did. The internet quickly turned the event into a meme fest, with users sarcastically questioning if the lynx would now be labeled a national security threat.
Others joked that the soldiers finally got a taste of their own medicine, while some even called the lynx the “real MVP.”
And in a world where everything seems to require a political statement, we can confirm that, as of now, no one has officially asked, “Do you condemn the lynx?”—but hey, there’s still time.
