"Menschliche Schutzschilde"?

#Israel: Natürlich setzen wir die ein!

>>In #Gaza, Almost Every IDF Platoon Keeps a #HumanShield, a Sub-army of Palestinian Slaves.
Innocent Palestinians are regularly forced by soldiers to enter houses in Gaza to make sure there are no terrorists or explosives. So why is the IDF's Military Police Criminal Investigation Division opening only six investigations into the use of human shields?<<

This is the story of a Palestinian man used as a human shield by the IOF. His wife had given birth the week before and was ordered to evacuate on foot with her five children. They got reunited eventually. What the IOF did to him and others is truly shocking, but at least he's still alive. For how long though

Al Jazeera · ‘I was a human shield’: What Israeli soldiers did to a Gaza fatherBy Al Jazeera

From the "Every Accusation is a Confession" files:
“In Gaza, human shields are used at least six times a day. If the Military Police want to do their job seriously, they should open at least 2,190 investigations. But the MP just want to pretend to the world that we're investigating ourselves, so they find a few scapegoats and pin everything on them,”
This is from an IOF soldier. Is it covered by Western media? Hell no.

thecradle.co'We are holding slaves': Israeli soldier reveals systematic use of Palestinian 'human shields' in GazaThe soldier revealed that the Israeli Military Police are investigating just a few cases to give the impression that the practice is rare
Israeli forces brutally killed two elderly Palestinians after using them as human shields during an invasion of Gaza City’s southern Al-Zaytoun neighbourhood last May, Euro-Med Monitor field investigations have revealed.

The victims of the crime were identified by the Euro-Med Monitor field and legal teams as married couple Mohammed Fahmi Abu Hussein (70) and Mazyona Hassan Fares Abu Hussein (65).

An investigation by the Israeli website “HaMakom” has revealed that an Israeli officer from the Nahal Brigade tied a chain of explosives around the neck of a 70-year-old Palestinian man and made him go inside houses in the Al-Zaytoun neighbourhood to inspect them and make sure they were safe for eight hours. According to the website, he and his wife were shot by Israeli army forces after they finished the mission.

#HumanShield in #Gaza, May 2024.

»#Israel​i forces strapped explosives around the neck of an elderly #Palestinian man in Gaza and forced him to act as a human shield before killing him and his wife, an investigation by the Israeli news website #HaMakom has revealed. […]

According to HaMakom the decision to use the elderly man as a human shield was part of a long-standing tactic called the "#mosquito #protocol" which involves Israeli soldiers ordering Palestinians to enter potentially booby-trapped locations - houses, tunnels, and other structures - ahead of the Israeli troops. […]

another Israeli soldier rejected the army's official line, telling HaMakom that "the mosquito protocol is completely regulated, and it's a very gray zone within the army."«

#Palestine / IDF commander kills Palestinian man forced as human shield in Gaza

An Israeli commander in #Rafah killed a Palestinian man who was being used by the military as a human shield, after mistaking him for a threat. IDF stated the incident will be investigated, but more importantly, it’s an acknowledgment of the illegal practice of using Palestinian civilians to inspect buildings and tunnels, a practice that has been condemned by human rights organizations and ruled illegal by Israel's own High Court of Justice in 2005.

Continued thread

After Israeli soldiers found Mohammed Shubeir hiding w/his family in early March, they detained him for roughly 10 days before releasing him w/o charge, he said.

During that time, Shubeir said, the soldiers used him as a #HumanShield.

Shubeir, then 17, said he was forced to walk handcuffed through the empty ruins of his hometown, Khan Younis, in southern #Gaza, searching for #explosives set by #Hamas. To avoid being blown up themselves, the soldiers made him go ahead.
