Libel: Israel put genetically engineered rodents the size of cats in Gaza to attack civilians

Fatah-run Awdah TV host: "What is the danger today of the presence of pests among the tents of the uprooted people, and the spread of these rodents?..."

Palestine Broadcasting Corporation Director in the Gaza Strip Rafat Al-Qudra: "These rodents are genetically engineered. Clearly, they were deliberately introduced into the Gaza Strip, so that they would attack the tents of the uprooted people and attack the weak. These rodents – if I tell you they are the size of a cat… These rodents are large and attack the weak, meaning they attack children and the elderly, particularly diabetics… A woman who did not feel that a large rat -... [it] ate the toes of her foot, and she did not feel it, but only felt some wetness and was shocked to discover she had lost part of her leg… I am almost sure that this is part of the occupation's (i.e., Israel's) war against the Gaza Strip."
