The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have released footage showing a young child carrying a rifle from one location to another in central Gaza. According to the military, the incident involved a militant who tasked the child with transporting the long-barreled weapon into a residential building in Nuseirat. The IDF stated that this is another example of Hamas's systematic use of children for terrorist activities, including preparing and carrying out attacks against IDF forces operating in the Gaza Strip and against Israeli civilians. The military explained that the militant cynically used the child as a human shield during the weapon transfer, presumably believing the IDF would not strike to avoid harming the child. The footage was shared via the IDF's official Twitter account on September 27, 2026.
