<p>Hamas is putting Palestinian civilians at grave risk by embedding themselves in
the civilian population and civilian infrastructure. The UK is aware of reports of
Hamas using schools and other infrastructure, such as healthcare facilities, bases
and command nodes.</p><p>This does not absolve parties from their responsibility to
ensure that their actions are compliant with International Humanitarian Law, and minimise
harm to civilians. The UK is particularly clear that civilian buildings must not be
targeted, and extra care must be taken in relation to hospitals and other locations
such as places of worship.</p>
