Report on Hamas' use of human shields in Gaza
https://stratcomcoe.org/cuploads/pfiles/hamas_human_shields.pdf
Hamas' most common uses of human shields include:
* Firing rockets, artillery, and mortars from or in proximity to heavily
populated civilian areas, often from or near facilities which should be
protected according to the Geneva Convention (e.g. schools, hospitals,
or mosques).
* Locating military or security-related infrastructures such as HQs,
bases, armouries, access routes, lathes or defensive positions within or
in proximity to civilian areas.
* Protecting terrorists' houses and military facilities, or rescuing
terrorists who were besieged or warned by the IDF.
* Combating the IDF from or in proximity to residential and commercial
areas, including using civilians for intelligence gathering missions.
By engaging in these acts, Hamas employs a win-win scenario: if indeed
the IDF uses kinetic power, and the number of civilian causalities
surges, Hamas can use that as a weapon in the lawfare it conducts. It
would be able to accuse the IDF (and Israel) of committing war crimes,
which in turn could result in the imposition of a wide array of
sanctions. On the other hand, if the IDF limits its use of military power
in Gaza to avoid collateral damage, Hamas will be less vulnerable to
Israeli attacks, and thereby able to protect its assets while continuing
to fight.
Israel needs the big US nukes so they can nuke Gaza in a spectacular act of self-immolation.
Would anyone really miss "the holy land" if it was a radioactive sheet of glass with a 20000 year halflife?
