KHAN YUNIS, Gaza Strip — The most violent Israeli war on Gaza did not settle for the destruction and misery that civilians were left to bear. Israel also left unexploded ordnance (UXO) that can detonate with any unwise movement, thus continually killing people as if the war had not ceased.

The explosion of a device in northern Gaza, while Palestinian experts were attempting to disable it on Aug. 13, led to the death of six individuals, including journalists, one of whom was an Italian reporter working for the Associated Press in the Gaza Strip.
