The use of Palestinian civilians as human shields has been an Israeli army policy during its war on Gaza, according to the testimony of a senior officer in a non-reservist brigade.

"In Gaza, human shields are used by Israeli soldiers at least six times a day," the officer, who says he served with the Israeli army for nine months, wrote anonymously for Haaretz on Sunday.

This procedure is known with the codename "mosquito protocol".
