> What indication is there that there is any significant "blending in" of Hamas fighters?

I think it is rather well documented.

Go to r/combatfootage on reddit to see for yourself.

Sorry, that is garbage.

Reddit/YouTube/Twitter/TikTok are social media, not accurate reference points.

Can you point me to something credible please?

  • Wikipedia has a good article about it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Use_of_human_shields_by_Hamas

    • That article appears to state that the use of human shields by Hamas is not true and fabricated by Israel.

      It's not a term I've seen any real evidence for. If anything the opposite is true according to the linked and Guardian article. Israel is pursuing a policy of killing suspected members of Hamas in their family home/building when they are not engaged in warfare, using dumb bombs that guarantee there will be significant civilian casualties, likely in the low to high 10's and possibly higher.

    • Of what use is a human shield if your enemy would just shoot the person in front of you?

      The IDF commonly uses palestinians as human shields though.
