OCCUPIED JERUSALEM, (PIC)--

The Israeli Haaretz newspaper revealed that T-shirts and other clothing bearing images and slogans urging for killing pregnant Palestinian women, and bombing mosques are designed nowadays at the request of IOF troops as a 2009 fashion in Israel.

According to Haaretz, the captioned images of dead babies, mothers weeping on their children's graves, a gun aimed at a child and bombed-out mosques are a few examples of many images Israeli soldiers design or choose these days to get them printed on T-shirts.

The newspaper said that this fashion spread largely in the Israeli military units especially the sniper unit whose soldiers order T-shirts bearing, for example, the image of a pregnant Palestinian woman caught in the crosshairs of a rifle with a caption reading, "One shot two kills."

It pointed out that in many cases, the content printed on T-shirts is submitted for approval to one of the Israeli military units' commanders.

Israeli psychologist Ron Levy told the newspaper that such acts go back about 50 year ago and each time they took a different form, adding that this is one of the ways in which Israeli soldiers project their anger and violence, describing this sick behavior of IOF troops as normal.

Two children die in blast of IOF ordnance In another development, two Palestinian children died Saturday in the Zeitoun neighborhood, east of Gaza city, when unexploded ordnance used by IOF troops during Israel's war on Gaza exploded at them.

Palestinian medical sources affirmed that the bodies of the two children from the families of Hijo and Shinyora were torn into pieces when transferred to the Shifa hospital.
