      I know it's unreasonable to expect random civilians to know what to do in situations like this, but I swear I am yelling at the screen. Holy fuck, get your heads down and keep them there!!! Just a general rule if you're ever in the middle of a bunch of gunfire and don't have a gun yourself, watching ain't worth it. Get as low as you can till the shooting stops.

        The folks in the vehicles are normal citizens. The IDF are using them for cover.

        Hiding behind a civilian vehicle full of civilians as a shield forcing your opponent to shoot through said civilians in order to shoot you is about as "human shield" as it possibly gets without physically grabbing someone.

        Usually this "human shield" thing means stuff like parking vehicles/launch sites next to civilian buildings that you might hit with counter-rocket fire. But in this case they are quite literally putting them in front of themselves as actual physical shields.
