IDF blaming Hamas for using human shields while that would be entirely pointless since the IDF kills indiscriminately anyway.
It's the IDF that's uses civilians as human shields. It's been reported before and now again:
Army uses Palestinians as human shields at al-Shifa Hospital: Right group
The Israeli military is using Palestinian civilians as human shields during its ongoing military operations inside and around the al-Shifa Hospital in central Gaza, according to the Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor.
The Geneva-based organisation says in its latest report it documented several witness testimonies about this since Monday, with Israeli soldiers forcing civilians into dangerous situations. This includes exploiting Palestinians for military operations inside the hospital, and forcing them to form barriers behind soldiers and military vehicles.
One Palestinian said he and three other young men were ordered to enter rooms inside the hospital after cameras were attached to their heads, and then received remote orders to move around to specific locations.
“Euro-Med Monitor calls on the international community to fulfill its international responsibilities in stopping the genocide being perpetrated against all residents of the Gaza Strip, and to take immediate and serious action to halt all Israeli army crimes committed against civilians and civilian objects protected under international law.”

I though this clown was fired, just kicked out of the UK I guess
‘We know we’re the good guys,’ says the Israeli government
The Israeli military released a short clip that purportedly shows soldiers establishing a “dedicated treatment area for the patients’ safety” at al-Shifa Hospital, which they have besieged to deadly effect for almost a week. It also claims it brought in medication, bandages, monitoring devices, along with food and water, to the hospital in Gaza City, which it initially raided earlier in the war.
The Israeli government spokesman, Eylon Levy, says this shows “we’re the good guys.”
The Israeli military, which has blown up parts of the hospital and ordered an evacuation of the grounds, earlier pledged to continue operations “as long as necessary”.
The gulf between how fundamentally good we are and how irredeemably evil our enemies try to paint us as never ceases to infuriate.
We know we’re the good guys. https://t.co/JERHItWcPs

Israel: Al-Shifa Hospital raid ends when all fighters dead or captured
The Israeli military is signalling that, despite the deaths of civilians and humanitarian concerns, its days-long raid on the al-Shifa Hospital in central Gaza will go on for as long as it deems necessary.
The army just released footage and images showing the chief of its southern command, Major-General Yaron Finkelman, meeting with other senior military officials near the hospital.
“We will not end this operation until we capture the last terrorist, alive or dead,” Finkelman says, adding the deadly operation is “significant” and will reflect considerably on Israel’s military achievements on the ground during the war.
The Israeli army claims it has killed dozens of fighters inside and around the hospital – which it besieged earlier in the war – and has taken 800 prisoners.
The IDF is just using Al Shifa as a place to hide behind civilians...
Qassam Brigades attacks Israeli soldiers, vehicles near al-Shifa Hospital
The armed wing of Hamas says intense ground battles are continuing near the al-Shifa Hospital in central Gaza. Qassam Brigades said it “destroyed enemy forces” trying to penetrate an area surrounding the health facility using mortar shells.
A rocket hit a group of Israeli soldiers barricaded inside a building in the vicinity of the besieged hospital, killing and wounding an unidentified number of troops, it said. Fighters used a Yassin-105 anti-tank weapon to target a military vehicle in the area.

Al-Quds Brigades says its fighters seized Israeli explosives
Al-Quds Brigades, the military-wing of Islamic Jihad, says its fighters dismantled a house booby-trapped by the Israeli army in the vicinity of al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City. The group added in a statement on X it’s working to reuse the dismantled explosive devices against Israeli soldiers and vehicles.
So it seems the IDF wants Northern Gaza empty. Aid convoys to the North get denied, people repeatedly get told to evacuate south, aid convoys get attacked, aid distribution points shelled, remaining shelters like Al Shifa get raided and/or bombed.
Hamas seems to be on the outside trying to attack the IDF, draw them out of the hospital.
It is quite clear at this point. The IDF are the terrorists, Hamas and other fighters are defending against the invasion and destruction. Yet not a single Western country can see who is acting in self-defense now and who are the real terrorists acting with impunity.
