| 2010-07-26 |
| A mysterious epidemic has paralyzed SyriaÂ’s army, IsraelÂ’s Channel 2 reported Thursday. So far, 14 Syrian soldiers have died from the unidentified disease and thousands more have been hospitalized, forcing the army to cancel training exercises, the channel reported. The report added that the epidemic began in army camps in the north and has slowly spread south, with no indication yet of the cause. |

| #5 Northern Syria has had a severe drought, so I'm thinking migrating rodents brought their diseases with them. The most popular would be plague and hantavirus. |
