Hamas Plays Chicken with Families and Civilians

Just in case you don't believe the Israelis when they tlak about Hamas's use of civilians as human shields, here's an early 2008 Hamas TV report on just such an incident. It documents, publicly from a Hamas source, both the IDF's policy of warning by telephone Hamas leaders whose homes it plans to bomb as well as Hamas's policy of remaining in the house and using civilians as human shields. In this particular case, the human shielding worked and the Israelis called off the attack. But that was then.
