Mimicry II.

This is coolbert:

To war with dolls. To war with children's backpacks. To war with dolls that cry and mimic Israeli hostages.

A topic as absolutely germane and as alluded to in a most recent blog entry.

"Hamas rigs children's backpacks, dolls, in ambush on IDF forces in Gaza"

"The explosive-laden children's items contained speakers that played crying noises in an attempt to lure in and kill soldiers, the IDF reported."

"IDF documentation of dolls and children's backpacks that had been rigged with speakers and explosives to lure in IDF troops." 

"The IDF located and exposed a Hamas terrorist ambush at the entrance to a tunnel shaft, using dolls and children's backpacks in an attempt to lure soldiers in hopes of finding hostages, the Israeli military said Friday."

"The items, which contained speakers playing crying sounds, were placed near a tunnel shaft which connects to a large network of tunnels that extends over a school and a medical facility in the Gaza Strip, the IDF said."

Mimicry of this type a legitimate ruse of war I strongly suspect. Walk into an ambush in ill-considered haste but with good intentions.
