Hamas forcing Palestinians at gunpoint to act as human shields

"Hamas has no regard for human life," IDF Major Peter Lerner, head of Coordination of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT) told Israel National News.

"We have had reports of Palestinians being held at gunpoint in order to put them at the front, in order to increase the number of Palestinian casualties on the Gaza side," Lerner said. "Hamas is doing it all the time."

According to intelligence reports, he added, the terrorists are stopping Gaza residents from evacuating their homes in order to flee the fighting. "Hamas is not letting them go," he said. "They want to increase the numbers of wounded and dead Palestinians for the cameras."

Hamas terrorists have also been stealing the food, medical supplies, medicines and other items shipped into Gaza for the impoverished residents by international aid organizations.

At least two convoys of aid trucks were hijacked by Hamas terrorists in the past several days, one carrying fuel and the other carrying basic food commodities and medical supplies. The trucks were seized by Hamas and allied terrorist forces as they entered Gaza through the Kerem Shalom Crossing.

Sources have said that Hamas takes a cut of all international aid that arrives in Gaza through the crossings. Supplies that are not kept are sold to the residents that were meant to receive them for free, in order to raise money for Hamas terrorist operations.
