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.

Guest: Natan Odenheimer, a contributing reporter for The New York
Times.

Background reading:

intelligence agents, throughout the war in Gaza, have regularly
forced captured Palestinians to conduct life-threatening
reconnaissance missions to avoid putting Israeli soldiers at risk
on the battlefield.
