The Associated Press scored an exclusive with two Gaza residents who confirmed that two Hamas rocket launching squads used some 350 Palestinians as human shields by firing rockets at Israel on a street near the U.N. school in Jabalyah where they sought refuge from shelling.
AP reporters Ibrahim Barzak and Jason Keyser say that two witness in Gaza “saw a small group of militants firing mortar rounds from a street near the school where 350 people had gathered to get away from the shelling.”
The AP says that the witnesses to the incident in Gaza “spoke on condition of anonymity for fear of reprisal.”
