Israeli soldiers used 80-year-old Palestinian as Gaza human shield: Report

Israeli forces allegedly strapped explosives around the neck of an elderly Palestinian man and forced him to act as a human shield before killing him and his wife, according to HaMakom.
The practice, referred to as the 'mosquito protocol,' is illegal under Israeli and international law, yet it has been reported as a common tactic used by the Israeli army in Gaza.
Witnesses, including soldiers, described that the man was threatened with detonation if he did not comply, and after the search, both he and his wife were shot by soldiers who were unaware of their presence.
Despite denials from the Israeli army regarding these practices, soldiers admitted to HaMakom that the 'mosquito protocol' is commonly used, indicating a violation of international law.
