Israeli military forced Palestinians to enter potentially booby-trapped houses and tunnels in Gaza to avoid putting its troops in harm’s way, a soldier and five former detainees say.

The soldier said his unit held two Palestinian prisoners for the explicit purpose of using them as human shields to probe dangerous places.

The exact scale and scope of the practice by the Israeli military is not known.

The Israeli Supreme Court explicitly banned the practice in 2005 .

All the Palestinians interviewed by CNN were eventually released after being used as human shields.

Saad Saad , 17 , was shot through the back as he approached a tank left behind by the Israeli army.

Dr. Yahya Khalil Al-Kayali , 59 , was forced to enter every room of every apartment in Gaza City to check for militants and booby traps.

A former Israeli soldier says he heard his comrades practice "mosquito protocol" in his unit.
