An engineering unit of the Gaza police force on Friday dismantled an unexploded 1,000 kilogram F16 bomb dropped by Israeli regime's planes during the summer offensive on Gaza.
Director of the unit, Lieutenant Rami al-Mabyad said that the unit received information that children were gathering aluminum in the area and immediately dispatched to dismantle the bomb.
Al-Mabyad warned Palestinians in Gaza to ensure their children do not approach border areas or touch suspicious objects which could endanger their lives.
In October, Muhammad Sami Abu Jrad, four, was killed after touching an unexploded Israeli ordnance left over from the summer military offensive.
A month earlier, three Palestinians were killed and two were injured when an unexploded Israeli bomb blew up in the Shujaiyya neighborhood of eastern Gaza City.
Although police teams have deactivated several tons of Israeli ordnance, bombs and explosive devices still litter the Gaza Strip, a reminder of the 50-day Israeli offensive that left more than 2,150 dead, 11,200 injured, and more than 110,000 homeless.
