An IDF officer has mistakenly shot dead a Palestinian man who was serving as a human shield for the Nahal brigades 931st Battalion in Gaza.

The man was allowed to reside alongside the troops and was tasked with searching buildings and tunnels before the troops entered. This incident raises further allegations of IDF brutality in Gaza. The IDF has admitted the incident and stated that an investigation is underway.

Oopsie, the living being we've been treating as an object because we consider him sub-human died. I guess we'll have to get a new one.

Under fire? Really? Sounds like some questions in response to someone literally being fired upon.

The IDF constantly lies and their human shield rhetoric is just PR for their wanton murder of Palestinians.
