The Israel Defense Forces on Saturday accused the Hamas terror group of attacking Israeli troops working to open up a humanitarian corridor for Palestinians to evacuate from northern Gaza to its south.

The military has for weeks been urging northern Gaza residents to evacuate southward, warning them it will be focusing its military efforts on the Gaza City area, the heart of Hamas’s rule and its main base of operations in Gaza. At least 800,000 of some one million residents of the area have done so.

    Check B’Tselem and other such organizations. They tend to document every single case they encounter.

      I’ve done my research. The last incident I can find is from The early 2000s.

      If you have evidence that their contemporary are ROE includes human shields I would love to see it.

      The Israeli military are not the heroes here, I’m perfectly happy to admit that, but human shields are bad, we don’t want people to be used to shields. As far as I can tell they modified their behavior in 2005 and have not been taking human shields, we should at least give them credit for that in the contemporary conflict, so they’re not encouraged to take up human shields again.

      With the ongoing genocide, and ethnic cleansing, there’s enough criticism to make a damning case anyway.

      Again I welcome evidence of human shields in the contemporary conflict
