terrorist groups bear responsibility for such casualties when such attack is otherwise legally permissible. (8) Hizballah, designated by the Secretary of State as a foreign terrorist organization, has repeatedly used human shields. Throughout its 2006 conflict with Israel, Hizballah forces purposefully used civilians in an effort to shield themselves against attacks by Israeli forces, including by storing weapons inside civilian homes and launching attacks from firing positions in areas of dense civilian population, often in or near homes, schools, mosques or hospitals, in order to shield such positions from attack.
