When human shields are used, the attacking party must take into account the risk to civilians. 191 Indiscriminate or disproportionate harm to civilians remains unlawful and the civilian population can never be targeted.

So, from this I understand that every time Israel makes an accusation of "human shields", it's a direct admission of guilt of war crimes in that they are knowingly targeting civilians.
