Gaza War The Guardian has compiled 3 videos
[27]  and testimony from civilians of alleged war crimes committed by Israeli  soldiers during the Gaza war, including the use of Palestinian children  as human shields, the targeting of medics and hospitals, and drone  aircraft firing on civilians deliberately.
[28]  Three teenage brothers from the al-Attar family have claimed that "they  were taken from their home at gunpoint, made to kneel in front of tanks  to deter Hamas fighters from firing at them and sent by Israeli  soldiers into Palestinian houses to clear them".

 An Israeli military official responded to these allegations: "The IDF  operated in accordance with the rules of war and did the utmost to  minimise harm to civilians uninvolved in combat. The IDF's use of  weapons conforms to international law." An Israeli embassy spokesperson  considers these allegations suspect because of Hamas pressure, adding:  "Anyone who understands the realities of Gaza will know that these  people are not free to speak the truth. Those that wish to speak out  cannot for fear of beatings, 
torture  or 
execution at the hands of Hamas."

 However, in a report on the Gaza conflict,
[29]  released July 2, 2009,
 Amnesty International wrote that Israel did use  human shields in Gaza. Amnesty claimed to have found cases in which  
"Israeli troops forced Palestinians to stay in one room of their home  while turning the rest of the house into a base and sniper position,  effectively using the families, both adults and children, as human  shields and putting them at risk. 
The report also criticized Hamas for  human rights violations, but "found no evidence Palestinian fighters  directed civilians to shield military objectives from attacks, forced  them to stay in buildings used by militants, or prevented them from  leaving commandeered buildings."[30]  The Israeli military responded, calling the report "unbalanced" and  saying that it ignored "blatant violations of international law  perpetrated by Hamas." AFP reports that thirteen pages of the 117-page  study are devoted to the conduct of Hamas and other Palestinian armed  groups. In the report, Amnesty calls on Hamas to "publicly renounce its  policy of unlawful rocket attacks against civilian population centres in  Israel."
