Bethlehem – Ma’an – An investigation by the newspaper “Haaretz” revealed that the Israeli army is using Palestinians as human shields to comb tunnels and buildings in Gaza.

The investigation revealed that the occupation’s use of Palestinians as human shields in Gaza is taking place with the knowledge of senior army officers, even the Chief of Staff.

The newspaper said that soldiers from the army said that their lives were more important than the lives of the Palestinians and it was better to use them as human shields.

“In some cases, soldiers used children and elderly people as human shields in Gaza,” the newspaper added.
