Overnight, Israel agreed to a cease-fire with the Lebanese armed group Hezbollah — a major turning point in one of the wars the country has been fighting since Hamas attacked it on Oct. 7. But the war in Gaza shows no sign of ending, and Israel’s conduct there is coming under increased scrutiny. A New York Times investigation has examined one controversial tactic: the Israeli use of Palestinian detainees as human shields. Natan Odenheimer, a contributing reporter for The Times, explains what the investigation revealed, and what the tactic says about the nature of the conflict.

York Times, I'm Sabrina Tavernisi and this is the Daily Overnight Israel agreed to a ceasefire with the Lebanese armed group Hezbollah, a major turning point in one of the wars Israel has been fighting since Hamas attacked it on October 7th.
But the war in Gaza shows no signs of ending, with Israel coming under increased scrutiny for the way it is conducting it.
Today, a Times investigation into one controversial tactic, the Israeli use of Palestinian detainees as human shields and what it reveals about the nature of the conflict, my colleague Natan Odenheimer explains.
It's Wednesday, November 27th.
So Natan, a lot has been happening with Israel in the past few days.
We had the ceasefire with Lebanon and Hezbollah on Tuesday night and the week before the International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant.
They issued those warrants for war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza.
You, Natan, have been investigating another practice by the Israeli military, one that's unconnected to what happened in the court but seems to also raise questions about the rules of war, and that is Israel's use of Palestinians as human shields.
Tell me exactly what you found.
So actually I stumbled into this story around January 2024.
I was filling my water bottle at the gym when I heard someone who I quickly understood was an Israeli soldier who recently returned from Gaza talking about seeing Palestinians being sent into Hamas tunnels.
That what he was explaining is that the military is using Palestinians as human shields, sending them into Hamas tunnels ahead of Israeli forces to probe those dangerous areas.
So in other words, this is an Israeli soldier you're overhearing.
The guy just came back from Gaza and he's recounting how they used Palestinians as human shields in Gaza.
