Originally titled "In Gaza, the Israeli military are using blindfolded and handcuffed children as human shields when they inspect bombed out buildings at night. (Taken from reddit/r/islam, 13 comments)"

Something something, human shields. Something something, do you condemn?

It looks like they are taking captured civilians and/or suspected Hamas to a staging area, protected from gunfire, to be processed or questioned .They are likley blindfolded so they can't say where they were once they are released.

There is no indication that they are inspecting the building or using the civilians as shields..

This title and narrative is complete fantasy.

Very true, I just used the title from the reddit post. I appreciate the additional perspective. Wish there was a translation for the voices.

It was easy enough to believe, given the IDF definitely used Palestinian children as human shields in the past.
