By Malathi Nayak SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) – A mobile game that simulates Israeli attacks on the Gaza Strip and invites users to drop bombs and avoid killing civilians has been pulled from Google Incs app store, a company spokesman said on Monday after a public backlash. Bomb Gaza, developed by PlayFTW and still available as an app on Facebook, simulates the on-going conflict between Israel and the Islamist group Hamas, which dominates the Palestinian territory. Players drop bombs from a fighter jet while dodging missiles from Hamas fighters in black and green masks. We remove apps from Google Play that violate our policies, a spokesman for Google said, confirming that the game had been removed from the Google Play app store.
