Prepare to be shocked — Lebanese Islamic jihadis used a church as a shield for their terrorist tunnels. Who would have thought?
Sarcasm aside, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) found that Hezbollah constructed tunnels and underground infrastructure for their murderous activities right near a church in Al-Khiyam, a classic example of terrorists using civilian infrastructure to shield themselves. This report comes at the same time as confirmation that the Palestinian child returned home by Israeli forces was healthy at the time of his return and his father is a Hamas jihadi who deliberately used the child as a human shield. Or, in other words, this was a normal week in Islamic terrorism and exploitation of innocent civilians.
Hezbollah turned a church in southern Lebanon into a terror site.

Hamas has spent years using its own people as human shields. It is entirely typical for Hamas bases to be hidden under hospitals and schools or for jihadis to stash their weapons and equipment in apartment buildings, mosques, and medical centers. Of course, part of the reason for that is the overwhelming majority of Palestinians (80+ percent) support jihad, so to make a distinction between terrorists and "civilians" in Gaza is not the clear-cut line most Western politicians like to think it is.
But the situation also exists because Hamas is delighted to hide behind women and children to protect their own miserable lives. Hence the injuries so widely reported on and misattributed to Israel on the little Palestinian boy, son of a Hamas jihadi (per Israel’s Foreign Ministry). That father shamelessly used his own son as a shield, and Mosab Hassan Yousef, son of Hamas's co-founder, has repeatedly stated that this is a common attitude among Hamas terrorists.
Hamas's backers in Tehran are exactly the same. Anti-Trump Western media has trumpeted the contested claim that the U.S. bombed a girls' school as part of the operation against the Iranian regime. Some evidence indicated the strike was likely from a misfired Iranian rocket, but even if the school was hit on accident by American forces, that's because it was right next to a terrorist Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) facility. Then, on March 8, U.S. Central Command addressed the Iranian people directly:
The Iranian regime is using heavily populated civilian areas to conduct military operations, including launching one-way attack drones and ballistic missiles. This dangerous decision risks the lives of all civilians in Iran since locations used for military purposes lose protected status and could become legitimate military targets under international law.
Iranian forces are using crowded areas surrounded by civilians in cities such as Dezful, Esfahan and Shiraz to launch attack drones and ballistic missiles.
There are countless other examples, but you get the point — Muslim jihadis always use human shields if they can. But then again, the Islamic religion is inherently an anti-individual, anti-life religion. Its sacred texts and sharia endorse rape, pedophilia, sex slavery, honor killings, domestic abuse, and slaughter of non-Muslims. Is it any surprise that fanatical adherents of such a religion are proud to waste innocent lives in pursuit of their evil goals?
