Children Call for Martyrdom, Capture Israeli „Soldier“ at a Khan Yunis „Childhood Festival“ | MEMRI TV

Celebrations of the Eighth Annual „Childhood Festival“ by the Islamic Association in Khan Yunis, Gaza, featured children simulating acts of defiance against Israeli soldiers and policemen. In the play, a girl dressed as a veiled Palestinian woman pushes an Israeli „policeman“ in defiance while weapons are trained on her, children throw stones at „policemen,“ and young boys dressed in military fatigues emerge from a „tunnel“ to take an „Israeli soldier“ prisoner. A girl reciting a poem called upon children to „die as a martyr, and blow up the enemies.“ The footage was posted on the Internet on May 5, 2016.
