The literal human shield

Israel-bashers like to claim that the IDF uses "human shields" when fighting. Well, here's one case where they are absolutely right: Transcript from an Israeli news show, while showing reconnaissance video of a firefight: # Here are the two terrorists,circled in red, hiding behind bushes # The soldiers, circled in blue, approach ... # without knowing they're so close to the terrorists # And here is the first terrorist # He identifies the soldiers...opens fire...but doesn't hit them # The two officers immediately attack, the other soldiers descend from the scene # The officers attack and kill one terrorist... # meanwhile they don't notice the other terrorist # the other terrorist throws a grenade...it explodes...but doesnt hit # and then the two officers attack him # the terrorist throws a second grenade # and now pay attention to what the company commander does... # he picks up the terrorist from the bushes # and uses him as a human shield against the grenade # the explosion kills the terrorist but not the officer # lets see this scene again... # the officer sees the terrorist, runs to him... # --the terrorist throws a grenade at him-- # ...and then simply with two hands # the officer raises the terrorist in the air # and uses the body of the terrorist as a shield from the exploding grenade # the encounter ends with a lightly wounded officer and two dead terrorists. UPDATE: I just found out that this video was from a year and a half ago (h/t Jameel.) Doesn't make it any less amazing, though.
