‘Fauda Base’: Israeli children taught to play ‘terrorist’ hunters in mock Palestinian town
A public Israeli facility is teaching children as young as six how to shoot firearms, become undercover operatives, dress as "terrorists" and play soldiers taking control of a Palestinian village, HaMakom reported on Tuesday.
The facility, called "Fauda Base", is located in central Israel.
It is named after the controversial Israeli Netflix series Fauda (meaning "chaos" in Arabic), which follows an elite mista'arvim undercover unit who spend their days infiltrating occupied Palestinian territories and killing Palestinians.
The facility is run in collaboration with the company YES, which produces the hit TV series. It was established in 2021 by veteran members of Mista'arvim and other special units.
Fauda Base simulates an espionage operation to save the country and captives, said one of the operators of the facility back in 2021.
