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.

    Well, when a government is currently engaged in a genocide, logic kind of goes out the window.

    Just today, they imprisoned the Israeli general who leaked the video rape of a Palestinian prisoner not accused of any actual crimes. One of the rapists has gone public and is vying for public support of Israeli citizens. One of the rapists is showing his face on the streets, while the general who leaked the video is being held.

    Quite frankly sir, STFU
