IDF soldier just admitted every brigade has 36 civilian hostages to go in and clear homes of boobytraps .. well he called them slaves i think.. they also tie them to vehicles so they don't get attacked .. That's the idf using human shields.. And calling them a prisoner keeping innocent people in prison with 30sec trials or sometimes not even charges is kind of bs ..
The claim you’ve encountered alleges that an Israel Defense Forces (IDF) soldier admitted to each brigade holding 36 civilian hostages to clear booby-trapped homes and using them as human shields by tying them to vehicles. However, I couldn’t find any credible sources or reports confirming such specific practices by the IDF.
Historically, there have been documented instances where the IDF used Palestinian civilians as human shields. In 2005,
the Israeli High Court ruled this practice illegal under international law, stating that even so-called “volunteers” could not be used in military operations due to the coercive environment, thus violating the Geneva Conventions.
Despite this ruling, reports indicate that the use of human shields continued in certain instances. For example, Adalah, a human rights organization, documented at least 33 violations of the court’s injunction by the Israeli military over a three-year period following the 2002 injunction.
Regarding administrative detention, Israel has faced criticism for detaining individuals without formal charges or trials, sometimes based on secret evidence. This practice has been condemned by various human rights organizations as a violation of due process and international law.
It’s important to note that while there have been instances of human rights violations, the specific claim about each IDF brigade holding 36 civilian hostages lacks substantiation from credible sources. Such allegations should be approached with caution and verified through reliable channels before being accepted as fact.
If it was my life on the line versus some terrorist I just caught I wouldnt have any issue using him as human shield and face trial later.
I would prefer to sit in jail alive than dead in this hell hole
