The tactic of using human shields is very early, many have used human shields. The 'uniquness' of terrorists is by using its own people.
Anti-Israel forces
The use of its civilians (in attacking Israeli civilians - the double crime) by anti-Israel Arab-"Palestinians" or Hezbollah goes back to at least 1982.
Most widespread, by Islamic Jihad and Hamas.[1]
Even by own admission.[2]
Among its usage:
- Schools.
- Private homes.
- Places of worship.
- Ambulsnces.
- UN vehicles.
- Media outlets.
Anti Israel Islamist terrorists see their methods, firing from residential places, schools, etc. as a win win situation. In case they save themselves and their weaponry, of course then they can keep on the assault on Israeli civilians. If many civilians on its own side die, then Israel's image is even more in shambles and graphic photos are most powerful in bringing sympathy and even recruitment.
Among the famous dates: Dec.2000 letter by Arab women on use of kids as "cannon fodders"; the letter by US doctors; 2001; 2002 at IDF eliminating Jihadists; Jenin-2002 - which is shy the IDF went door to door; 2006 Beit-Hanoun; 2008-2009; 2014 war with UN admitting its UNRWA was used; 2017-2021, or Hezbollah use (most notably using Christian villages and UN in 2006 and civilians in 2018-19.
In the course of the years, the IDF has developed and constantly improved methods, tools to minimze civilian casualties on the other side, including notifying owners of properties ahead of an operation so that civilians can evacuate and more precision guided weapons to hit more accurately at the target. Yet, nothing can ever be 100% a 100% of the times. Plus, the dilemmna is great, sacrificing in not eliminating terror targets such as arsenal, tunnels and operatives who cynically use its people.
In 2014, a resolution was introduced in the House condemning Hamas and other terror organizations.[3]
