PA libel: Israel has ”developed rats of a special kind that attack children and the sick”

Fatah-run Awdah TV host: "We welcome our guest, Palestine Broadcasting Corporation (PBC) Director in the southern districts (i.e., the Gaza Strip) Mr. Rafat Al-Qudra… Considering the warnings about the spread of epidemics, how do you describe the current health situation in the Gaza Strip?"

Palestine Broadcasting Corporation Director in the Gaza Strip Rafat Al-Qudra: "All indicators point to there being a type of rodent – rats and mice, to be precise... These rodents - mice and rats - are of a special kind, they are large in size, and they particularly attack children and the sick... It is believed that these rodents were developed and experimented on specifically by the Israeli occupation."
