Both sides, all sides use it.
Israel has told civilians in Gaza living north of the red line to evacuate. Around 1.1 million people live in the area. The south is about to be super packed Palestinian sardines. How many will evacuate?
So Israel is saying "get out now so you don't get killed, because we're about to tear some Hamas shit up, and if you're still in the way after we warned you not to be, you're likely to get damaged, too", and Hamas is saying "No, don't leave, stay - because we need the human shields, and we need your dead carcasses for propaganda purposes - you'll be our poster children when we scream 'the nerve of those occupiers, to attack civilians, women and children!'. Never mind that they're really attacking us and you're just in the way because we told you to be when they told you not to be - that's kinda how the human shield thing works - and never mind that we did it first, and attacked their civilians on purpose, as primary targets rather than just someone in the way - you're not supposed to realize that. It's not good for propaganda for you to realize that, so just don't think about it as you stand between us and the bullets, mmkay?"
The quote from Joe Biden was precious - he spat out word salad, even back then!
And the poor, poor "Palestinian" dude, with martyrs all around him.. here a martyr, there a martyr, everywhere a martyr martyr, old Mustafa had a farm, ee-eye-eee-eye-oh! Someone needs to sit them down and explain how martyrs work - fewer is better, because they provide a better focus point. When you've got one around every corner and under every bed, they tend to start getting kinda ho-hum.
