Human rights group based in Geneva has reported that Israeli forces used three Palestinian children as “human shields” during their raid on the Tulkarm refugee camp in the northern occupied West Bank on May 5 and 6.

Defense for Children International documented testimonies from three palestinian children, who described particular conditions and assaults, while serving as “human shields” by the Israeli forces.

Their statement described that “the soldiers forced them to walk in front of them in the buildings and alleys of the camp, searched homes, and demanded that residents evacuate. In two cases, the soldiers put their rifles on the shoulders of two children and fired shots.”
