The only times the Palestinian man wasn’t bound or blindfolded, he said, was when he was used by Israeli soldiers as their human shield.

Dressed in army fatigues with a camera fixed to his forehead, Ayman Abu Hamadan was forced into houses in the Gaza Strip to make sure they were clear of bombs and gunmen, he said. When one unit finished with him, he was passed to the next.

Human Shields is a practice employed by the IDF for years and decades.

And you'd have to a be a Zionist to think Palestinians wouldn't want to avoid shooting their own.
