As far as I can tell, Israel’s Rules of Engagement will be far more lax than usual. I suspect their boys will be told to ignore the human shields as if they don’t exist. So don’t target them, but also don’t take steps to protect them. It’s up to Hamas to realize that their human shields won’t work, not this time.

4th Geneva Convention Relative to the Protection of Civilian Persons in Time of War, Part 3, Article 1, Section 28:

"The presence of a protected person (aka civilian noncombatant) may not be used to render certain points or areas immune from military operations."

They use human shields because it has worked in the past. It’s time to stop worrying about it.
