Israel army resorting to human shield method: Rights group
AFP [ FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 15, 2002 06:20:41 AM ]
JERUSALEM: The Israeli army used Palestinians as human shields during an
operation targeting an Islamic Jehad leader in the West Bank town of Jenin
last week, an Israeli human rights group charged in a report Thursday.
B'Tselem lists a number of cases of the use of "human shields" and the
so-called "neighbour procedure" of forcing civilians to act as go-betweens
with militants, condemning them as violations of international law and of an
August 18 supreme court interim ban on both practices.
The report quotes witnesses describing how the army used a Palestinian
civilian as a human shield on November 9 in Jenin, during an operation aimed
at eliminating local Islamic Jihad chief Iyad Sawalha, whom Israel accused
of being responsible for 31 Israeli deaths.
The report says Khaled Kamil, whose house was near Sawalha's, was questioned
about his neighbour by soldiers and ordered to go to the Hamas leader's
house.
The troops threatened to destroy Kamil's house if he refused and after
blowing up a wall which revealed a gaping hole leading into the wanted man's
house, the soldiers forced Kamil -- at gunpoint -- to go inside and call
Sawalha.
The suspected militant was killed in the operation, while Kamil was held in
prison and only released the next day.
B'Tselem, the Israeli Information Center for Human Rights in the Occupied
Territories recommends in its report that the army give an unambiguous order
to its soldiers "not to demand civilians to perform military assignments."
An army spokesman said he was looking into the accusations.
