We have been seeing the use of human shields in Gaza, the population in protected areas protecting their leaders.  But despite this, the major leader. Mohammed Def, was killed today.

This means we have to protect ourselves – I’ve opened the joint shelter, turned on the lights, opened the door to the building so passersby can come to hide if the rockets fall in our area.  We’re not shielding anyone or anything, but we’re targets for the expected revenge.
