Widespread torture of Palestinian children used as human shields by the Israeli military

The legal analysis demonstrates how such acts qualify as torture. It further examines how Israel's indiscriminate attacks targeting Palestinian civilians who Israel claims are shielding military objectives give rise to terror and may amount to inhumane treatment. It finally and briefly expands the scope of analysis to discuss how Israel's acts in using Palestinian civilians as human shields fit into the ongoing genocide against the Palestinian people.
