IDF forces operating in the Gaza Strip spotted a terrorist utilizing a child to move weapons into a civilian residence in the refugee camps in the central part of the enclave, the military announced Sunday.

The military stated the terrorist deliberately exploited the child to transport the munitions in a calculated bid to deter IDF troops from launching a strike to thwart the transfer. The IDF officially characterized the incident as the use of a child as a human shield, coming against the backdrop of Israel's pushback against the slanderous accusations in the movie 'NAZA' that it was targeting civilians indiscriminately.

"Upon identifying the presence of a child, the IDF refrained from carrying out any strikes against the terrorist," the IDF said on X. The IDF maintained the footage serves as yet another clear example of terror groups in the Gaza Strip routinely using children for terrorist activities. The military noted the action blatantly violated international law and was orchestrated to advance and execute terror plots against Israeli citizens and IDF troops operating along the Yellow Line, the unofficial border separating the Israeli troops from the Hamas-control part of the Gaza Strip under the 2025 plan mediated by the US.
