Why I say ‘more’? Basically because this is nothing new.

Following the ‘Hot Winter‘ operation on Nablus, the Israeli occupation forces is facing new allegations about the use of Human Shields in it’s illegal operations.

Started with AP filming the IOF soldiers using locals as human shield during offensive on Nablus, more reports were published by The Israeli Information Center for Human Rights in the Occupied Territories (B’Tselem). The latest one states the fact that Israeli soldiers use two Palestinian minors as human shields.

Testimonies taken by B’Tselem reveal that during the army’s operation in Nablus in late February, soldiers used two Palestinian children, a fifteen-year-old boy and a eleven-year-old girl, and a twenty-four-year old man as human shields. The use of human shields constitutes a flagrant breach of international humanitarian law.

Israel will try to probe human shield allegations, one should remember that this is nothing new and I don’t think anyone will ever stop them from committing such crimes cause they are born to do so.

Couple of years ago the Israeli defense minister Shaul Mofaz ordered the army’s top brass to appeal against Israel supreme court ruling that banned the military’s use of human shields. Of course that ruling never stopped them from doing it again. To name some, who can forget the family members (including minors) human shields of Beit Hanoun?

Another incident is this famous picture (worth a thousands word):

Of course every time the Israeli military police claims investigation into the matter but guess what? Nothing happens!

Update:

Here is an interview with the IOF kidnapped 11-year-old Jihan Tahdush. Jihan was kidnapped from her home in the Old City of Nablus and was used as a human shield while Israeli forces conducted door-to-door searches in the Old City. Jihan says of the incident: “They gave me biscuits to persuade me to talk to them, but I didn’t tell them anything. When I brought them to the house they told me not to be afraid because they were with me. When I asked to go back to my mom, they said, ‘We have to keep you a bit longer.
