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.

    Clearly he’s challenging this particular article. Don’t strawman or move goalposts - it weakens your argument.

      You guys always get so mad instead of realizing things aren’t as simple as good vs evil.

      I disagree with you, based on the content of the original comment (quoted). They are clearly trying to challenge the notion that Israel is killing children in general.

        No, they can challenge the notion that things aren’t as simple as good vs evil - it’s usually more like evil vs evil and bystanders get fucked. In this case, challenging the notion that Israel booby-traps kids toys, doesn’t mean challenging that Israeli bombs civilians including children.
