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.
I’m no fan of the IDF but I can’t find any sources on this other than that add riddled link and a couple of Instagram posts with no real info.

The Gaza Health Office said it and they didn’t cite your claims, so it’s 100% confirmed and true.
If anyone wants to claim otherwise, Israel should let journalists into Gaza to prove otherwise.
Israel doesn’t get the luxury of banning journalists and then claiming that there is no way of asserting the truth.

They’re in Gaza.
This is like linking Xinhua to report on New York and saying they are more credible than the official New York city news.
Aren’t they barring journalists from entering Gaza, or has that changed? Because then I’d be very inclined to believe anything against the oppressors.
The only sane comment so far.
