Israeli farmers irate over Jordanian ‘killer tomatoes’

Tomatoes from Jordan infected with a virus are on sale in Israel, causing outrage among Israeli agriculturalists.

The killer tomatoes not only destroy crops, but can also damage the health of those who eat them, the NRG website reports.

The Farmers’ Federation of Israel is calling for an immediate halt in the import of the tomatoes, and is considering a lawsuit against the Agriculture Ministry over the issue.
