Israel's military inadvertently published video evidence of its forces using a Palestinian civilian as a human shield during a raid on Kamal Adwan Hospital (a medical facility in northern Gaza) on 28 October 2024, before hastily deleting and cropping the footage from official channels. The original clip, posted to the Israeli army's social media accounts to boast of the operation by the 162nd Division and naval commando unit Shayetet 13, clearly showed an unarmed man in military-style clothing positioned at the front of the advancing force — later identified as a Palestinian detainee. The incident is not isolated: an Israeli army officer was reported to have acknowledged that Palestinians are used as human shields at least six times daily in Gaza, a practice corroborated by an investigation in the Israeli newspaper Haaretz and by Al Jazeera footage showing detainees bound, dressed in military gear, and forced to scout tunnels — conduct that constitutes a war crime under international law and adds to the evidentiary record underpinning ICC arrest warrants against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defence Minister Yoav Gallant.
