Use of Human Shields that have been independently verified:
HAMAS
2009: HRW on Laws-of-War Violations 2009
2014: back in 2014 (Amnesty link) is of Weapons (not rockets) hidden at a vacant school, situated btwn 2 UNRWA schools housing displaced people, by a Palestinian armed group.
The Guardian journalists had encountered a couple individuals in 2014 too.
2023:
Amnesty on Hamas War Crimes 2023
International Law on Human Shields
