Innocent?

Apparently two women were killed and a few more injured during a battle between Israeli soldiers and Hamas soldiers in Gaza. To which Israeli Army spokesman comments:

"Unfortunately, maybe one woman was killed - I don't know if it's by IDF or not. But our purpose is definitely not to hit the innocent ones."

But apparently these "innocent" women were women who had heeded a direct call from Hamas to act as human shields for their soldiers as they fled from Israeli soldiers. Apart from again confirming how Islamic fighters systematically use women and children on purpose as human shields, it must be said that you are anything but "innocent" if you run to a mosque with the direct intention of acting as human shields for Hamas soldiers engaged in a battle with Israeli soldiers.
