Israeli Parents Urged to Remove Social Media Apps from Kids' Phones to Protect Against Disturbing Hostage Images
Israeli and Jewish schools are reportedly urging parents to delete social media apps like Instagram and TikTok from their children's smartphones to prevent them from seeing disturbing images and videos related to the Israel-Hamas conflict. The warnings come amid concerns that Hamas fighters may release graphic videos of hostages "begging for their lives." Jewish schools in the US have also issued similar warnings, although it is unclear where the information about forthcoming hostage videos is coming from. President Joe Biden has stated that Hamas is holding an unknown number of Americans as hostages.
