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.

edit war, completely unreliable for now.
