Bomb Gaza which instructs users to “drop bombs and avoid killing civilians” was reportedly downloaded around 1,000 times before it was pulled by Google Play.

It was uploaded to the app store under the name of developer PlayFTW on Thursday but was met with outrage by Google Play users, calling the game “sick” and “disgusting” for mimicking the ongoing conflict between Hamas and Israel.
