Demand that AP headline mention that Palestinian man was used as "human shield"

While the article itself talked about Israel using Abadi as a human shield, the article's headline went out of its way to avoid using the term "human shield."  There are other items in the article that could be critiqued, but the failure to call out Israel's use of a human shield in the headline is the biggest issue we're focusing on.

Please help us criticize AP for article about the recent Israeli military operation on Jenin where 24-year-old Palestinian man, Mujahid Abadi, was used as a human shield.  While the article itself talked about Israel using Abadi as a human shield, the article's headline went out of its way to avoid using the term "human shield."  There are other items in the article that could be critiqued, but the failure to call out Israel's use of a human shield in the headline is the biggest issue we're focusing on.
