The finding of the game indicates the teaching and encouragement of terrorism to young children. In additional searches in the area, the soldiers also located many weapons in residential buildings.

IDF soldiers located a 'Snakes and Ladders' board game intended for children that was being used to convey information about key targets for terrorist attacks on Israeli cities, the military reported on Friday, along with images of the finding. 

Soldiers of the Nahal Reconnaissance Battalion found the board game while operating in the Rafah area of Gaza

The board game shows pictures of missiles and tanks on top of different locations throughout the country.

There is also imagery of Hamas terrorists going through tunnels to indicate to players to move backward on the board.

A large amount of evidence has been collected as part of the IDF's ongoing military campaign against Hamas in Gaza that Israel argues proves the indoctrination of children from a young age to hate Israel and Jews.

In January, the IDF published collated photos and videos showing children undergoing military training, posing with weapons, and even simulated drills in a mock tunnel.
