The game consists of mimicking the arrival of a rocket hitting one’s home: someone dies, the other children pull the “corpse” out of the rubble and carry it away. A diplomat who has witnessed this scene several times during his travels to Gaza during the war, and who prefers to remain anonymous, says he has seen the same scene depicted in children’s drawings as well. His explanation is that young children reproduce in play the only reality they know. “They live surrounded by violence and death, and this is a way to normalize them”.

On the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People: Palestinians Face Incarceration for Defending Their Right to Self-Determination
Ramallah – 20/11/2025 – On the occasion of World Children’s Day, the prisoner institutions (the Commission of Detainees and Ex-Detainees Affairs, the Palestinian Prisoner’s Society, and Addameer Prisoner Support and Human Rights Association) stated that the Israeli occupation system continues to inflict physical and psychological destruction on child prisoners through a series of systematic policies.
On Monday, 17 November 2025, the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) voted in favour of Resolution 2803, normalising the colonial occupation of Palestinian territory. This resolution was imposed on the Palestinian people without their consent, constituting a blatant violation of the inalienable right of the Palestinian people to self-determination. The United States (U.S.) and its allies, have made it clear that this plan must be accepted, threatening to "finish the job"— an overt reference to resuming the genocide in Gaza.
