From b'tselem : in Beit Hanoun

20 July 2006: Israeli Soldiers use civilians as Human Shields in Beit Hanun

B'Tselem's initial investigation indicates that, during an incursion by Israeli forces into Beit Hanun, in the northern Gaza Strip, on 17 July 2006, soldiers seized control of two buildings in the town and used residents as human shield. ....

I met 'Aza over coffee today for the first time...and after watching the waves of the Mediterranean of Gaza and the Israeli ships that completed the image...I saw this Soldiers use 'Aza al-Kafarneh as a human shield during an IDF operation in Beit Hanun, July 2006
'Aza al-Kafarneh, mother to two
I live in the al-Kafarneh neighborhood, next to the a-Nasser mosque in the center of Beit Hanun. My family has twenty-one members, eleven of them children. We live in a four-story building. Click on title for more. ....

MY GOD what a nightmare!!! I feel so terrible for this poor woman and her family .. what horror and humiliation they had to go through!
I do what I can to spread the news here, to educate the people, to make them aware ... this MUST end - it is inhumane and TOTALLY unacceptable! Please, Naj, should you see this woman again - tell her that! Tell her that she/you ALL are NOT alone and that there are people fare away who fight for you/them, stand by your/their side!!
God bless and protect you ALL!
