Orthodox Jews Demand Beard Compensating Gas Masks

Orthodox Jewish men and others who have long beards have asked the Israeli government to produce a gas mask that will fit over their facial hair.

Gas masks were the hot back-to-school accessory in Israel on Wednesday as the country braced for fallout from a likely attack on neighboring Syria.  The Israeli government also ordered a limited call-up of reserve troops as the U.S. and its allies edged closer to launching a military strike on Syria.
