It seems as if the Iraqis are not the only country in the Middle East to have used "human shields". :o
The Israeli Supreme Court announced a temporary injunction on the use of "human shields" by the

use of Palestinians as "human shields"---whom were used to approach homes in Palestinian camps
that were thought to house militants, or may have been booby trapped.
