In the United States it is actually illegal to manufacture or modify a toy gun that looks like a real gun. All toy guns have to be bright neon green or orange or another color that makes it clear it is not a functional firearm. They also can’t be made of metal, only plastic. The reason for this is that there were multiple situations where police shot inner city kids who were playing with toy guns that were too “realistic”.

Happens all the time in America, kids as young as 12, and this is nowhere near as dangerous as the situation faced by the IDF.

But in Israel it is an international incident.

I remember my son had colored over the bright orange tip on one of his toy guns and wanted to take it out of the house. It went in the trash because even in my quiet suburban neighborhood they will shoot if it looks like a real gun.

That is called deterrence. Israel soldiers are much too tolerant and that is why stuff like this happens. There is no fear of them.
