🧵The claims that Israel uses "Human Shields" since the IDF HQ is located in Tel Aviv are stupid, meant to normalize attacking Israeli civilians. No one hides the Pentagon behind a shopping mall. The Kirya isn’t buried under a school. The Russian MoD isn’t in a hospital basement

1. The Pentagon (USA)
Location: Arlington, Virginia — essentially part of the Washington, D.C. metro area.
It’s adjacent to residential neighborhoods, shopping malls, highways, and national landmarks.

2. IDF Headquarters – The Kirya (Israel) Location: Central Tel Aviv It’s surrounded by civilian buildings, commercial offices, shopping centers, residential apartments, and busy roads.

3. Russia’s Ministry of Defense HQ Location: Moscow, Russia Positioned on the banks of the Moskva River, right in central Moscow, among civilian infrastructure and government buildings.

4. UK Ministry of Defence (MoD) Location: Whitehall, London Next to government ministries, tourist attractions, and dense civilian areas.

5. China’s Central Military Commission HQ Location: Zhongnanhai, Beijing Right next to the Forbidden City, mixed with civilian and administrative zones.

6. Indian Armed Forces Headquarters (South Block & Sena Bhawan) Location: New Delhi Integrated into central Delhi near parliament buildings, government offices, and civilian traffic.

7. French Ministry of the Armed Forces (Hôtel de Brienne) Location: Paris Situated in the 7th arrondissement—residential, diplomatic, and cultural heart of Paris.

8. NATO Headquarters Location: Brussels, Belgium Near residential areas and office parks on the outskirts, but still within the greater Brussels metro area.

9. Turkish General Staff HQ (Genelkurmay Başkanlığ) Location: Ankara Centrally located, close to parliament and civilian neighborhoods.

10. German Ministry of Defense Location: Berlin In the city center, near embassies, public parks, and other government offices.

Try googling where is the HQ's of Hamas. It is not marked.

This is Human Shields: Command centers in hospitals, Rockets launched from schools, Ammunition stored in mosques, HQs beneath residential buildings,
The IDF HQ is marked. Iran targets babies!

The claims are so stupid, they even claim air defense systems are "evidence" of "human shield" strategy. That is what those writing reports against Israel for the ICC, ICJ & UN claim.
