Gaza Twins Wounded by Bomb, US Calls It 'Targeted Strike'
Yahya and Nabila, 10-year-old twins, mistook an unexploded bomb for a toy in Gaza, leaving them with life-threatening injuries. While The New Arab focuses on the human tragedy, it overlooks the financial lifeline that makes such 'toys' commonplace. Historically, the U.S. sends Israel billions in military aid annually. For instance, HR 815, passed in April 2024, included an additional $14 billion
for Israel. This continued supply ensures a steady stream of munitions, many of which fail to detonate, creating a deadly playground for children. We are consistently told about 'precision strikes' and 'minimizing civilian casualties,' yet the landscape of Gaza is littered with the active remains of these 'precision tools.' One might ask, how many children must play with deadly 'toys' before we
question the suppliers?
