*EDIT: Apparently the original story was deleted.

I can't find a legit source for this.

Doesn't change the fact that Israel and Genocide Joe are warmongers, but it appears this is false, maybe a reverse recycling job on the propaganda around Israel supposedly finding warheads in kids' toy chests.

I’m still seeing this as an active posting, linked on other UN pages e.g.,

https://dppa.un.org/en/gazas-new-terror-booby-trapped-cans-of-food-unwary

However, a similar claim in January was found to be false by fact checking news orgs.

    tardigrada OP ,

    Here's an alternative link: https://www.eurasiareview.com/02052024-gazans-face-new-terror-threat-from-booby-trapped-cans-of-food

    BUT: It seems that the UN deleted the article.

    When looking for an alternative link, I found also this: https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2024/feb/01/instagram-posts/no-viral-footage-doesnt-show-explosives-disguised

    Social media posts claim footage from Gaza shows explosives disguised as food cans, but there are no visible labels or pictures on the metal cylinders to suggest they contain food.

    Experts on military strategy and the Middle East said the metal cylinders seen in photos and videos online are likely containers for M603 fuzes, which are designed to detonate landmines. Footage shows one of the cans is labeled "fuze mine."

    The fuzes are not designed to explode if a person opens the container. It requires 140 to 750 pounds of force to ignite the fuze and trigger an explosion.

    I'm sorry, seems that you can't trust the UN news?

    A lot of their URIs predate .int and they don't want to break those links

    Yup. That's what people generally do. If you get custom special domains you'll use it for new stuff and the old stuff will continue on old patterns

    Possible war crimes?? Israel hit war crime bingo in the first month and has been trying to get a full card since!
