Where is the evidence that Hamas uses hospitals as human shields, or human shields in general?
Is there any evidence of Hamas using Human Shields?
"Hamas is constantly hiding among civilians, in schools and hospitals and nurseries"

I just got permanently banned from r/palestine (unsurprisingly not a sub that is particularly committed to free speech) for the crime of pointing out that Hamas uses hospitals as large human shields.
However, to their credit, in banning me, they left me with some links regarding some common myths about Hamas. One of them was the "human shields" myth.
Upon following up on their arguments, I can't actually find much in the way of reliable evidence from anyone or anything (that is not directly from the IDF) that corroborates Hamas using human shields. I feel like Sam is more than a little to hasty to buy into claims that come from Israel, as if they don't also have a sophisticated propaganda machine up and running.
So with that said: can someone point me in the direction of reliable evidence that Hamas uses human shields?
One of the main talking points for the carpet bombing of Gaza and the overall genocide of the Palestinian people is that “Hamas is using human shields”. We all know it’s how the IDF excuses their bombing of civilians. However, I’ve literally never seen a shred of evidence supporting this claim. You would think seeing that Gaza is the most heavily surveillanced area in the world the IDF would constantly be coming out with evidence of Hamas storing arms in the school and hospitals they bomb or firing rockets in residential neighborhoods. So, my question is: has there actually been any evidence supporting these claims the IDF makes?
I’ve seen Israelis use fake/wrong videos claiming it was Hamas. I’ve also seen photo and video evidence of the IDF using human shields. But, where’s the Hamas human shield evidence?
