The IDF has literally used meat shields (and children meatshields) and raped women (and children), as reported on multiple occasions in the past year alone.
Honestly both can be true. Give soldiers guns and free reign to do what they want in a space populated with people they consider their enemy and you will get war crimes and atrocities.
Use of ‘meat shields’ is propaganda, Israel says that Hamas is using civilian infrastructure to store weapons and Israel labels that as using meat shields, they continue to bomb civilian infrastructure anyway
This is exaggerated but has happened unfortunately, but not under Hamas command, Israel capitalised on this tragedy by using it as propaganda to fuel anti-palestinian efforts, including false reports, not allowing independent journalism and even the example you gave, which was also false and was actually a phone taken in Syria of Kurdish Fighters
I don’t know if you’ll approach this in good will, but it is fully to the benefit for Israel for these to be true, and they have capitalised heavy upon it
Hamas and PLO is the only two forces in Gaza that can even push back on the genocide, and idealism that you could continue opposition just by removing Hamas is wrong, as Israel inherently wants to integrate Palestinian lands thoroughly, not solve the issues present, and will demonize any new Palestinian entity if it ever comes into existence
Did they use polish children as meat shields? Did they rape woman and dragged them through the streets?

Hamas builds its infrastructure underneath civilian spaces and uses them as human shields. NATO, the US, the EU, the UN, and HRW, among others, all verified this fact. proof, proof, proof, proof, proof, proof, proof, proof, proof, proof, proof, proof, proof, proof, proof
There are also multiple militant groups throughout Palestine, such as the PIJ. Here’s a video of a PIJ militant using his daughter as a human shield.
That is not to say that Israel is innocent. But there is truth to the claims.
