The Jews told 16-year-old Ahed, “Stay where you are and don’t move. You’re a terrorist.” For two hours, they used her as a human shield in a gun battle - then they bombed her family’s home with rocket-propelled grenades.
Defense of Children International: The Jews used a 16-year-old Palestinian girl as a human shield in front of a military vehicle while deployed in The Jews' West Bank mega concentration camp last week.The Jews forced Ahed Mohammad Rida Mereb, 16, to stand in front of a military vehicle on May 13 around 8 a.m. in the Al Hadaf neighborhood of Jenin as Palestinian gunmen shot heavily toward the Jews’ position, according to information collected by Defense for Children International – Palestine. The Jews ordered Ahed to stand outside the military vehicle for around two hours while they sat inside.
“International law is explicit and absolutely prohibits the use of children as human shields by armed forces or armed groups,” said Ayed Abu Eqtaish, Accountability Program director at Defense for Children International – Palestine. “The Jews intentionally putting a Gentile child in grave danger in order to shield themselves constitutes a war crime.”
