Is this "IDF terrorists using Palestinian as human shield" or "IDF rushing wanted man for medical treatment" or both?

A civilian got shot, likely by Israel. They, strapped him to the hood, prevented the Palestinian ambulances from taking him, drove away and then ditched the guy. So just the Human shield part.

The very article that's used states they took him to a hospital and he was a suspected militant.

Now this is Israel's report but you can't just hand wave facts and statements.

"

The Palestinian Red Crescent Society said Israeli soldiers initially prevented paramedics from treating the man.

He was eventually transferred to an ambulance and taken to hospital.

"

The jeep did not take him to a hospital. I recommend watching the video in the article too. Makes the situation very clear.

Why would not give a suspected militant to the Red crescent?...

"However, he was later handed over to the Red Crescent."

"He was transferred to the Red Crescent to receive medical treatment, the Israeli military added."

Indeed eventually. After they initially prevented the Red Crescent from helping the man.

Did you watch the video in the article? The footage makes it very clear the soldiers are not helping the man into an ambulance.

I was obliterating your failed attempt to make it seem like IDF didn't give this man to the Red Crescent. You lied.

But my point is you wouldn't give a suspected militant back to the organization. That is a stupid thing to do. My opinion is that they took him to IDF medical treatment, cleared this man of any militant ties and transferred him to the RC after they knew he wasn't a threat. Is that how you treat a human shield?

You can see the IDF weaving past the ambulance not handing him over in the video.

Yes. Are you familiar with the concept of time?

It must work different in Israel.

Not really. I claimed the IDF didn't give the suspect over for reasons and when their suspicions were wrong, they gave him back. And each moment the earth moves, time passes.

You keep getting stuck in a time loop by repeating the same thing. It's like you're dumb af or something.
