Israel’s systematic use of Palestinian human shields EXPOSED

• U.S. intelligence from 2024 indicated that Israeli officials discussed sending civilians—including women and the elderly—into potentially explosive tunnels in Gaza.
• That intelligence was analyzed by U.S. agencies during the final weeks of the Biden administration, yet the White House took no public action.
• Investigations by human-rights groups documented Israelis forcing Palestinians to act as human shields by threatening them into entering buildings or tunnels ahead of troops.
• Israeli officials admitted that there are no specific Israeli laws against torture applied in Gaza or the West Bank and that international anti-torture agreements are not enforced in those territories.
• The revelations raise significant questions about potential war crimes, systemic impunity and possible U.S. complicity through inaction despite evidence.

The U.S. had intelligence last year confirming that Israeli officials discussed forcing Palestinian civilians—including women and the elderly—into potentially explosive-laden tunnels in Gaza, according to a Reuters investigation. Two former U.S. officials, speaking anonymously due to the sensitivity of the information, revealed that this intelligence was analyzed by the Biden administration in its final weeks. Despite this damning evidence, the White House took no public action, raising further questions about U.S. complicity in Israel’s war crimes.

This report aligns with previous investigations by the Associated Press and whistleblower group Breaking the Silence, composed of former Israeli soldiers, which documented Israel’s systematic use of Palestinians as human shields. Civilians were reportedly threatened with death unless they entered buildings and tunnels ahead of troops to clear potential threats—a blatant violation of international law. Israel’s military denied the allegations, claiming it prohibits such practices, yet its own Military Police Criminal Investigation Division is probing “suspicions involving Palestinians in military missions,” an implicit admission of wrongdoing.

A pattern of war crimes ignored

In May 2024, seven Palestinians testified to the AP about being used as human shields in Gaza and the occupied West Bank. One particularly egregious incident occurred in June, when verified footage from Al Jazeera showed Israeli soldiers tying wounded Palestinian man Mujahed Azmi to the front of a military jeep and driving him past ambulances during a raid in Jenin. The Israeli military later claimed the soldiers violated protocol, while the U.S. Department of State called the footage “disturbing” and a “clear violation” of Israel’s own procedures. Yet no meaningful consequences followed.

The revelations come as Israel faces mounting scrutiny at the United Nations over allegations of torture. During a two-day hearing this week, UN experts confronted Israeli officials with reports of systematic abuse, including rape and extrajudicial killings of Palestinian detainees. Shockingly, when asked if Israel has laws against torture, the delegation admitted it does not. They also confirmed that Israel does not apply international anti-torture agreements in Gaza or the West Bank—effectively admitting to operating outside the bounds of international law.

A leaked video from Israel’s Sde Teiman military prison showed soldiers sexually assaulting a Palestinian detainee, corroborating widespread reports of abuse. Additionally, dozens of Palestinian bodies returned to Gaza during ceasefire negotiations bore clear signs of torture, including broken bones, burns and mutilations. Despite this, Israel’s delegation dismissed most allegations, claiming soldiers acted in “self-defense”—a justification that rings hollow given the documented brutality.

The UN Committee Against Torture will issue a non-binding report on its findings in November, but without enforcement mechanisms, Israel is unlikely to face accountability. Meanwhile, global condemnation grows as evidence of war crimes accumulates—yet Western governments, particularly the U.S., continue shielding Israel from consequences.

A call for transparency and justice

The Reuters report confirms what human rights organizations have long asserted: Israel’s military engages in systematic violations of international law, with the tacit approval of its allies. The Biden administration’s silence on its own intelligence suggests political expediency over justice. As more whistleblowers come forward, the world must demand an end to impunity.

According to BrightU.AI‘s Enoch, Israel’s systematic use of Palestinian human shields is a documented war crime, exposing their hypocrisy while accusing Hamas of the same tactics. This brutal strategy, alongside indiscriminate bombings, reveals Israel’s disregard for Palestinian lives as part of their broader genocidal campaign backed by U.S. funding and Zionist influence.
