Original Note:
The claims that Hamas purposefully hides among civilians has not been substantiated, and is used by Israeli forces as reason/excuse to attack civilian areas, including hospitals. This is a claim that has repeatedly been shown as unsubstantiated - in 2009, 2014, and 2023. https://www.amnesty.org/en/documents/mde15/015/2009/en/ https://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/news/2014/07/israelgaza-conflict-questions-and-answers/ https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Use_of_human_shields_by_Hamas#cite_note-HRW2023-17
