New Evidence from IDF: Hamas Still Using Palestinian Civilians as Human Shields

The Israel Defense Forces Spokesperson’s Unit released a video showing an Air Force strike of a Hamas weapons storage site in northern Gaza, saying this provides further evidence Hamas uses Palestinian civilians as human shields:

The Israeli Air Force (IAF) confirmed direct hits on Hamas terrorist facilities which were embedded deep into the Gazan population. Despite Hamas’ tactics of using its own Palestinian population centers as a human shield, the IAF does its best to solely target armed terrorists and avoid any civilian casualties.

The strike on the arsenal came after 20 rockets were launched over the weekend from Gaza aimed at Israeli civilians. The IDF says the munitions arsenal was situated in a residential area. After the initial strike, the viewer can see a “massive secondary explosion” and “secondary explosions from hidden munitions.” View the video here:

The phenomenon of Hamas hiding behind Palestinian civilians isn’t new. The Intelligence and Terrorism Information Center published a report in 2009 called “Hamas’ Exploitation of Civilians as Human Shields” documenting the numerous instances in which Hamas launched attacks from areas densely populated by Palestinian civilians.

It reported the vast military infrastructure, including rocket and mortar caches, is “hidden in and around civilian homes” of densely-populated Gaza. It says this tactic was inspired by Hezbollah:

The calculated, cynical use of the civilian population as human shields is intended to decrease the vulnerability of Hamas and the other Palestinian terrorist organizations by affording them a kind of immunity from the IDF’s counterterrorism activities, since they are aware that Israel avoids harming the civilian population insofar as is possible. It is also intended to make it possible for Hamas and the other terrorist organizations to make political-propaganda gains in the battle for hearts and minds by representing Israel as operating against innocent civilians.

[…]Using civilians as human shields is a war crime, a grave breach of the laws of armed conflict and a crime against humanity. Rockets and mortar shells are routinely fired from built up, densely populated areas and near structures and facilities (including educational institutions and mosques) provided special protection by the Geneva Conventions.

Besides the new aerial Gaza video, the IDF revealed another nefarious terrorist tactic. Spokeswoman Avital Leibovich posted this photo of what she dubbed “mock rock.”

New Evidence from IDF Hamas Uses Palestinian Civilians as Human Shields

Leibovich says it’s just one example of disguises in which roadside explosives are hidden, adding “These kind of devices are often used against IDF soldiers patrolling near Gaza.” They’re also a weapon U.S. troops in Iraq and Afghanistan are all too familiar with, hidden on the road in a range of innocent-looking items, household goods and even animal carcasses.

      Having read the Nuremberg laws, it says that Jews weren’t permitted to fly either the Reich or National flags but were allowed to fly “Jewish” flags. This isn’t a conspiracy, it’s a way of marginalizing a part of the population. The Jews were being portrayed as foreign invaders who had tainted the German “perfection”. It served the same purpose as the Yellow Star did: marking the Jews as something un-German. Being truthful is about more than just stating facts.

      Thanks for enlightening me. Your devotion to dhimmitude is surpassed only by your ignorance. Naziism and Zionism were never partners. The Nuremburg laws were passed to strip jews of any and all rights they might have had in Germany (kinda like the laws in most modern mooslim countries, huh?) and never declared only “2 flags were permitted to fly over the Reich”. They prohibited Jews from flying the reich or national flag or displaying the national colors of the reich, allowing them only to display the Jewish colors of blue and white instead. This is the mooslim/dhimmi view of “partnership”, eh?

      You don’t have a clue what that coin means, do you?
      It says “a nazi travels to palestine” and was minted by Goebbels and his minions – in 1934 – when they were trying to get rid of the jews but before they decided to do it with mass murder. It advertised articles in Der Angriff, Goebbels’ newspaper, encouraging Jews to emigrate.
      It wasn’t legal tender, but oh, by the way, did you know that jews weren’t allowed to use German currency and had to make their own, often refused by German merchants? Another fine example of “partnership”.
      “Anti-zionist” is just a euphimism for anti-semitic. Quit pretending to know anything about history.

They try to hit military targets and defend the lives of their own citizens. Hamas on the other hand launches missles indiscrimiately into civilian neighbor hoods. Hamas trains their children to be suicide bombers. When you ask your own children to strap on a bomb and walk into a childs birthday party and blow themselves up just so you can kill a few more Jews, you have to be stopped and you don’t deserve a country.

      By the way, for all you Ron Paul supporters, this is why you can’t allow Iran to get the atomic bomb. The Iranian government is not like the soviets, they don’t care if they or their people die, they think it would be great. The soviets didn’t think this way, they didn’t want to die, so that threat was a deterant. With Iran there is no such deterant. If Raul’s foreign policy is put in place and Iran gets the bomb, hundres of thousands if not millions of people will die. may be not right away, but it will happan.

Hamas has a history of not just rocket attacks, but and extremely bloody history of terrorism characterized by suicide bombings against civilian targets.

If you’ve identified the people being used in any manner, even “people fleeing from the scene” then adding “human” to “shields” is redundant.

      The practice of government constantly humiliating it’s citizens: We’re going to steal from you, but we are going to force you to calculate the amount we are going to steal. That would be like a thief making a home-owner go through his own house to separate with humility exactly what will be placed near the door to be stolen.

      Americans have a severe case of Stockholm Syndrome. The crook captivates the hostage back making the hostage seem as an accomplice to the hostage taker, and thus the captive seems to make excuses for the criminal.

      And now, the United Nations is going to do to the United States the things that the U.S government has done to U.S’ citizens, because the government of the U.S is made up of the same people who have been made complacent in theft of their own wealth, and thus the U.S government will be complacent in the U.N’ theft of U.S wealth, and all you divided robots will sit there whining while they take it.

      Are you on meth ? Your first statement is absurd. A volunteer army is equal to human shields? Duh. Perhaps no one introduced you to the concept of “free will / individual rights” which does have a religious/ philosophical foundation which you probably do not accept as you sound like more of that “collective” mentality. One does not volunteer to become a civilian shield. One if forced and becomes a potential fodder/ protection for the coward behind . One volunteers to join an army and one agrees to the dangers and the benefits. You are trying so hard to make a argument that will not fly – except in the face of logic.

      barber2,
      The thing about truth is that the longer someone has been suckered, the hotter the fire of truth comes down. And the hotter the fire, the more ready people become to deny the truth. The deniers place up shields to the truth with blindness and they reinforce their blindness with an offensive of ridicule which in the day and age is usually comparing someone to drug addicts or mental patients.

      barber2,
      As a matter of procedure that has grown old for me to watch is that many truth deniers can not even stand to finish reading material that could quite possibly actually be the truth because as that unsettling reality comes upon you the heat becomes unbearable therefore causing that one to stop reading instead resulting in dismissing it as gibberish.

      barber2,
      Moreover, your selfish arrogance makes you force yourself to be blind to the truth. And your arrogance is unto a breastplate, and the more arrogant you are the harder you will fall as you become trodden in the wine-press, and quite tastier to the palate I might add.

    This is almost laughable. Israel attacks Gaza, a civilian settlement, kills many innocent civilians, and then claims that those innocent civilians are being used as shields.
    Dumb and dumber comes to mind.

      And when Hamas attack Israel, where military bases and civilian residential are kept distinctly separate, they target the civilian population centers directly. Hamas trains children as young as 12 to attack Israeli soldiers. Last time Israel invaded Gaza to engage Hamas the terrorists intentionally forced armed conflict in heavily populated areas and often grabbed fleeing civilians to use as human shields.

      The fact that you would ignore or discredit any evidence that either condemns Hamas and its allies or vindicates Israel is a clear demonstration that the truth for you is only that which fits your already established views. If it contradicts that view, it is a lie by definition and doesn‘t require anyone to prove it’s a lie.

      Useless goat humpers also comes to mind. Then there is coward, piss ant, many many other adjectives come to mind for hamas. How about tango? Target rich environment? The poor bomb making baby killing hamas peeps. Ham sammich? Bacon biscuit? Sausage gravy? Smacky, why do you so love the suicidal suck butt squatters? I have yet to see an IDF FM with how to blow up your kid or yourself and how to get mass casualties from house hold kitchen items. Really nice people. Perhaps if you have family or offspring you can entice them to join the Hamas school of alter reality.

      Your link, by the way, is intentionally lacking in details and certain statistics. For instance, it fails to indicate how many Palestinians killed of injured by Israelis were armed. In addition, it is not uncommon for people using stones, pipes, and other improvised melee weapons to be considered unarmed so even that statistic could be unreliable. The part that shows more injuries from live rounds than riot control arms isn’t surprising because live rounds are more dangerous and are more widely distributed. After all, what military routinely arms their soldiers with rubber bullets. Not one.

      As for the comparison between Israeli and Palestinian casualties, I noticed that it only started counting in 2000 and didn’t give a year to year measurement. The reason Israeli deaths are lower is because Israel built the separation barrier which, if one compares the number of deaths before and after its creation, saves hundreds of Israeli lives each year.

      And as for unemployment rates in Gaza, how is that Israel’s fault. Israel doesn’t control Gaza or its economic condition. In fact, Palestinians destroyed a fully operational flower business in Gaza after Israel pulled out.

      Hamas boasts that it has fired 11,000 rockets into Israel since 2000. Civilians? Sure. And rattlesnakes are just cute little puppy dogs with noisy tails.
      Dumb and dumber is an appropriate tag line to all your comments, Whackjob33.

      Oh and one more thing. Political prisoners? Most Israeli prisoners are guilty of terrorism and were convicted and sentenced. They aren’t imprisoned for speaking against Israel. If they were there might not be a Arab political party. The statistic also conveniently ignores Israelis kidnapped by Palestinians and Hezbollah.

      Another point about Palestinian deaths. We are talking about people who hold human life as so cheap they launched suicide bombing campaigns against Israeli civilians. There’s was an exhibit at one point that glorified the destruction of a Sbarro pizza store full of civilians. Israel actually respects human life enough not to put their own civilians in harms way.

      It’s terrorism when Hamas kills a 12 year old boy, but it’s an accident when Israel does the same.
