Isreali army probes human shields allegations
Israel’s army is investigating new allegations that troops used Palestinians as human shields during an operation in the West Bank city of Nablus.
The Israeli human rights group B’Tselem said that while conducting a major operation against Palestinian gunmen in the city last week, troops took two children – a 15-year-old boy and an 11-year old girl – along while they searched houses for militants and weapons, forcing them to enter the houses first.
