"Controversial Pro-Israel Ads Target Young Gamers in Graphic Campaign"

Pro-Israel advertisements featuring graphic content, including footage of rocket attacks and masked gunmen, have been appearing in children's video games across Europe. The ads, which were shown to at least six children, including a 6-year-old boy in London, have left parents and children shocked and disturbed. The Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs confirmed that the video was a government-promoted ad but claimed to have no knowledge of how it ended up in various games. Rovio, the developer of Angry Birds, acknowledged the issue and stated that the ads were being manually blocked. Advertising firms contacted by Reuters denied responsibility for placing the ads, and there is no evidence of a similar Palestinian digital advertising effort. Rules on advertisements vary by country, but authorities emphasize the need to avoid overly graphic content and target it away from under-18s.
