Now, a brief summary of Israel's use of Israeli civilians as human shields: In the 1950s, Israel built civilian centers in border areas to serve as a first line of military defense. 108 such settlements were built in Israel after 1948, including many of the Israeli towns near Gaza like Nahal Oz. Israeli historian Yoav Gelber put it this way: "Originally, the border settlements served as Israel’s first line of defense. They defended themselves & supplemented the then small regular army (three brigades) in providing cover for the mobilization of the reserve formations. The status of those living in the border settlements was identical to that of reserve soldiers. They were organized in companies and platoons in the border towns and villages and integrated into the IDF’s territorial hierarchy of areas and districts under territorial commands. They were trained and equipped according to their mission, including anti-tank and light support arms." https://jstribune.com/gelber-israels-revised-national-security-doctrine-must-include-border-defense/ The Israeli military HQ is in the Tel Aviv city center, a few hundred meters from a large high school. Why is the Israeli military HQ so close to so many children? Why does it operate its war machine so close to so many innocent Israeli children? https://jacobin.com/2023/11/human-shields-bombing-gaza-palestine-israel-defense-forces-morally-bankrupt The Israeli army’s radio station, @GLZRadio, is located in a residential apartment building & its antennas are on the roof of that residential building. Israel's civilian settlements in the Occupied Palestinian Territories have been & continue to be used for military purposes. Avigdor Lierman said this explicitly: “The settlements in Judea & Samaria & those here in the area of Jericho and the Dead Sea are the State of Israel’s true defensive wall.” https://www.jpost.com/Arab-Israeli-Conflict/Liberman-West-Bank-settlements-are-necessary-for-Israels-defense-505370 Many of Israel’s settlements in the West Bank were first established as military outposts, later converted into civilian towns; Israeli settlers wear military garb, carry weapons & enmesh themselves w/ the Israeli army in the OPT, blurring the lines between combatants & civilians. https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/2016-07-28/ty-article/.premium/document-confirms-first-settlements-built-on-a-lie/0000017f-ea04-da9b-a1ff-ee6ff9080000
