Skunk (weapon)
"Skunk" is a malodorant, non-lethal weapon used for crowd control by the Israel Defense Forces. It was developed and is manufactured by Odortec, with two supporting companies, Man and Beit-Alfa Technologies.〔('Crowd Control Weapons in the Occupied Palestinian Territories,' ) April 2014.〕 The liquid's strong odor is intended to be an improvement over the rubber bullets and tear gas used by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) against Palestinian protestors. The IDF has received criticism for its tactics during deployment, including accusations of use against businesses and people not involved in protests.

The material used is an organic and non-toxic blend of baking powder, yeast, and other ingredients.〔("התרגיל המסריח; המפגינים מנעלין צריכים לקנות דיאודורנט", Haaretz, 4/9/2008 )〕〔Noah Browning, ('Israeli "skunk" fouls West Bank protests,' ) Reuters 3 September 2012.〕 Deriving its name from the animal of the same name, "Skunk" is dispersed as a form of yellow mist, fired from a water cannon, which leaves a powerful odor similar to rot or sewage on whatever it touches. The inventors plan to market Skunk to law enforcement agencies worldwide, specifically American local police departments.〔(A whiff from hell ). Retrieved 11 June 2015.〕
A BBC reporter describes its effects as follows:
“Imagine the worst, most foul thing you have ever smelled. An overpowering mix of rotting meat, old socks that haven’t been washed for weeks – topped off with the pungent waft of an open sewer. . .Imagine being covered in the stuff as it is liberally sprayed from a water cannon. Then imagine not being able to get rid of the stench for at least three days, no matter how often you try to scrub yourself clean.”〔Wyre Davies, ('New Israeli weapon kicks up stink,' ) BBC News 2 October 2008.〕
A reporter for Reuters described its effect in the following words:
Imagine taking a chunk of rotting corpse from a stagnant sewer, placing it in a blender and spraying the filthy liquid in your face. Your gag reflex goes off the charts and you can't escape, because the nauseating stench persists for days.〔
