Original Note:
False: The "surface to air missiles" referenced are defensive systems like Iron Dome, David’s Sling, and Arrow - designed to intercept missiles headed toward populated areas. They're placed near residential areas to protect civilians, not to "use them as human shields". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron_Dome https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/what-are-israels-iron-dome-arrow-missile-defences-2024-04-14 https://apnews.com/article/f0e72fa1c1dba6bc08fcc0bfb0c5a9f0
