An Israeli soldier disclosed in a Haaretz op-ed that the military's practice of using human shields in Gaza is far more common than acknowledged and that a recent investigation was intended to create the false impression that such incidents are infrequent.

“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,” the soldier stated.

The soldiers refer to #Palestinians forced to clear homes in this way as “Shawish” or “slaves.”

Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza has announced that Israeli forces detonated Noura Al Kaabi Kidney Dialysis Center, the only dialysis hospital in northern #Gaza. The center served patients suffering from kidney failure across the region.

“This attack is a death sentence for hundreds of patients,” the ministry said in a press statement. “The destruction puts their health at risk of catastrophic and irreversible collapse.”

Health officials stated that Israel is following a dangerous and systematic policy aimed at emptying northern Gaza of hospitals and specialized care centers.

Since October 2023, Israeli forces have repeatedly targeted Gaza’s healthcare system. Hospitals, ambulances, maternity wards, and emergency departments have been bombed or shut down. Patients and doctors are overwhelmed, exhausted, and left without basic medical supplies.

In every successive Israeli attack on #Palestinian communities, the pattern has been the same: Israel accuses the #Palestinians of using human shields, international organizations, and human rights groups investigate, and the investigations reveal that the party systematically using human shields is not #Palestine, but rather #Israel.

Indeed, the Israeli human rights group B’Tselem has documented the repeated use by Israel of human shields at least since 1967. Investigations by both Amnesty International and #HumanRights Watch into Israel’s “Operation Cast Lead” attacks in Gaza found evidence that Israel used human shields (including children) but found no evidence that Palestinian groups did so.

Similarly, successive #UN Commissions of Inquiry that investigated the massive #Israeli attacks on #Gaza in 2008-2009 and in 2014 looked into Israel’s claims and found no evidence of Palestinians using human shields. The UN Committee on the Rights of the Child found “the continuous use (by Israel) of Palestinian children as human shields” from 2010 to 2013. The UN’s Special Rapporteur on terrorism reported the same finding.
