IDF Releases Footage of Child Used by Hamas to Transport Weapons
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) on Sunday released video footage from the central Gaza Strip showing a child being used by a militant to transfer weapons into a civilian home. According to the IDF spokesperson, forces operating in the area identified a militant exploiting the child, using them as a human shield to move weapons without IDF forces intervening.
The IDF stated that the incident exemplifies how terror organizations in Gaza systematically use children for terror purposes, violating international law and facilitating terror attacks against IDF soldiers and Israeli civilians. The released video depicts the child carrying the weapons into the civilian structure in the central camps area.
IDF forces in southern Gaza remain deployed in the area according to an agreement and will continue to operate to neutralize any immediate threats. The military presented the event as further evidence of the exploitation of children for terror activities and the attempt to smuggle weapons into civilian buildings by using a child.
