Eyewitness testimony reported Wednesday by Al Jazeera accused Israeli troops of massacring forcibly displaced women and children sheltering at a school in northern Gaza,

The Israeli soldiers came in and opened fire on them," one unidentified witness said. “They took all men, then entered classrooms and opened fire on a woman and all the children with her,” including “newborn children.”

“The Israeli soldiers executed those innocent families point-blank,” she added.

A man who arrived at the scene after the alleged mass murder told Al Jazeera that “we found dozens of dead bodies in the classrooms.”

“There is no sign of any missiles or shells,” he added. “All those who were in the buildings were executed from point-blank. The Israeli soldiers opened fire on them. Many families came searching for their children. They found them all killed. They were all killed, executed at gunpoint.”

            “Since the beginning of the occupation in 1967, Israeli security forces have repeatedly used Palestinians in the West Bank and in the Gaza Strip as human shields, ordering them to perform military tasks that risked their lives. As part of this policy, soldiers have ordered Palestinian civilians to remove suspicious objects from roads, to tell people to come out of their homes so the military can arrest them, to stand in front of soldiers while the latter shoot from behind them, and more. The Palestinian civilians were chosen at random for these tasks, and could not refuse the demand placed on them by armed soldiers.”

            Looks more like the IDF trying to use him as a “human shield,” eh. I guess the Israelis learned that trick from their nazi friends, huh?

        I have noticed this trend of whatever Israel is accusing others of perpetuating, it is usually heavily involved in itself.

        Seems that solider in 2008 is keeping the man behind the concrete partition. Does that look like a human shield? As for the boy, The amazing life and deeds of Mohammed Badwan – The Human Shield Amazing how he’s remained 13 years old for the last 20 years!

        Hamas are terrorists. Their regime ends now.

          IDF blindfolds a teenager and uses him as a human shield

          WOW LOOK AT THE IDF KEEPING THAT BOY SAFE!!!

          Hope you’re getting paid for this level of cognitive dissonance.

          I’m still waiting for you to link me that evidence of Hamas using human shields like the IDF has done a gazillion times

      Do you not know more than those few English words? You attempted to dunk on us, exhibited the fact that you literally don’t know a single thing about the Palestinian/Israeli conflict, and then repeated yourself. Bravo.

        It seems that soon hamas will be completely neutralized. How do you like that? Not much you can do about it huh.

        Sorry pal. Hope you get over it some day

          Yeah… no, that’s not what’s going to happen. Unless Israel kills every palestinian and even then, a lot of the hamas leaders aren’t even in gaza, so, they will just start a new one. You may want to take a deep breath, get some fresh air, and stop reading and listening to fear driven news sources.

                  Yeah the only things I said there, that “hopefully they will” makes sense to answer is “Israel killing all Palestinians” or “Hamas will come back”. If the Israeli army was worth their salt, they wouldn’t be flattening gaza.

          Israel claims they still need “months if not years” so it doesn’t look like they’re making any progress actually killing any Hamas members
