Schools, mosques, and hospitals are commonly used to hide militants, munitions, underground tunnels and more. https://www.cfr.org/backgrounder/what-hamas https://www.ohchr.org/en/press-releases/2023/10/commission-inquiry-collecting-evidence-war-crimes-committed-all-sides-israel#:~:text=Taking%20civilian%20hostages%20and%20using,human%20shields%20are%20war%20crimes
