Children in the Gaza Strip are facing a lethal, hidden threat from the remnants of war, including unexploded ordnance and devices intentionally disguised as toys, according to Gaza's Director General of the Ministry of Health, Dr. Muneer Alboursh.

Alboursh issued a powerful condemnation of the practice, stating that the deliberate placement of these devices poses an acute and ongoing danger to the youngest residents of the territory.

According to the Ministry of Health, items such as dolls, teddy bears, and colorful balls are being used to lure and injure children.

"When a child reaches for the 'pretty toy,' the horrific truth explodes in their face," he wrote.

Israel can do no wrong because their imaginary friend told them that they're special, and everyone else sucks.

Israel can do no wrong because ~~their imaginary friend told them that they're special, and everyone else sucks.~~ the world can't get over their guilt over letting Germany murder 6 million Jews. And besides, brown people's lives are inconsequential, especially if they pray to the wrong imaginary friend.

How will they spin it this time? Last time with the pagers it was the most ingenious James Bond spy maneuver most of the western MSM had ever seen, while in reality it's just terrorism.

Occasionally I come across a headline that makes me start crying. This is one of them.

I wonder what they claim the reason for this is. What just reason can they possibly claim? At some point the world needs to stand up and stop them.

Cruelty is the point. They want the Palestinians to leave "voluntarily". Israel will torture them as much as possible to do so.

I believe that Israel soldiers are perfectly capable of this atrocities, as they have shown in the past and also reported by several humanitary organisations. But we have to take this news with a grain of salt, since there is no other news that confirms it.

Probably because Israel kills more journalists than any other country

The source is the Gazan health ministry. They are so careful on what information they publish that they have been massively underreporting the death count of Israel’s atrocities. Very weird to put their data into question like this.
