‘Israel’ booby-traps children’s toys in Gaza leaving behind several casualties: health ministry - Lemmy

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.

We take a closer look in this edition of Truth or Fake.
