UK Bans Game Depicting Hamas Attack on Israeli Soldiers

The video game, inspired by the October 7, 2023, Hamas attacks, was removed from Steam in the UK but remains available in other countries.

The game 'Fursan-Al-Aqsa: The Knights of the Al-Aqsa Mosque' simulates the October 7 Hamas attacks on an Israeli military base, including graphic executions of soldiers.
The UK's Counter Terrorism Internet Referral Unit (CTIRU) requested the game's removal from Steam due to its depiction of terrorist acts and potential propaganda elements.
The developer, Nidal Nijm, based in Brazil, has defended the game, claiming it is no different from other war-themed games like 'Call of Duty.'
Despite the UK ban, the game remains accessible in other countries, including France, and has sold thousands of copies globally.
Critics have called for broader restrictions, citing the game's glorification of violence and its alignment with extremist narratives.
