I find the diplomatic and intelligence consensuses of the US, EU, UK, NATO, France, Germany, Japan, Poland, Norway, and Canada to have more credibility than your links to Human Rights Watch.
What's more likely, Canada got this one wrong or that you got tricked?
Hamas's strategy is to trick you by using human shields and exaggerated civilian casualties: lying to people about whether to evacuate, holding people against their will, convincing them to willingly stay in harm's way to die for the cause. This is how Hamas operates and has been operating for decades. I don't need to spell it out with links because it's easily verifiable information.
The idea that Israel uses human shields is absolute lunacy. Shields for what, where?
