Testimonies from seven Palestinians and confirmations from Israeli military officers reveal that this illegal practice has become normalized. Israel's military denies these allegations but acknowledges that using civilians as shields is prohibited. Under international humanitarian law, this tactic is strictly forbidden, yet accounts suggest it is prevalent within military culture, highlighting deep ethical concerns and potential violations of international law.
The report highlights that the Israeli military has systematically employed Palestinians as human shields during the ongoing conflict, a practice condemned under international law.
