Soldiers of the Givati Brigade headquarters at the Sde Teiman base complain of unsanitary conditions: a mouse infestation, pigeon droppings, and garbage. According to them, the rodent problem began about eight months ago, but appeals to the command have not helped. Mice have reached the sleeping quarters, gnawing uniforms and bedding, and soldiers have to buy mousetraps at their own expense. The servicemen also report that the canteen and food truck are not operational on weekends, forcing them to bring food from home. The IDF press service stated that the complaints are known, pest control measures are carried out every two weeks, and two treatments have been conducted in the past week. It was also reported that the food issue has been resolved.
