Whenever I heard this argument, I assumed they meant Hamas was firing their weapons while making a Palestinian or Israeli stand in front of them. But then I looked up videos and images and it seems to me “human shields” refer to other Palestinians consensually standing around fighters and cheering them on as they shoot at the IDF.
