How they've been deployed

The Israeli army used Palestinian civilians as human shields in a variety of combat situations:

· Forcing them to enter the homes of wanted men to tell them to surrender, or ordering them to enter suspected booby-trapped buildings

· Placing civilians between troops and hostile crowds to discourage stone-throwing or shooting

· Troops standing behind a Palestinian and then firing over the civilian's shoulder during combat

· Palestinian families locked into a room after the army commandeered their homes as military posts, to discourage militants from attacking

· Civilians ordered to pick up suspected bombs on roads

Also, if you think for one second that this will not continue with little restraint, you are patently wrong.
