speaking of war crimes""Hamas, an Islamist militant group and the de facto governing authority of the Gaza Strip,
has been using human shields in conflicts with Israel since 2007. According to the Statute of the
International Criminal Court (ICC), the war crime of using human shields encompasses
"utilizing the presence of a civilian or other protected person to render certain points, areas, or military forces immune from military operations." Hamas has launched rockets, positioned military-related infrastructure-hubs and routes, and engaged the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) from, or in proximity to, residential and commercial areas."
