If Israel regards its conflict with Hamas as war, it is liable to abide by the international rules of war

ABC  

The Israeli Defence Force, its spokesman Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari said this week, is a "professional military committed to international law". The killing of seven humanitarian workers by the IDF this week, Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said, was a "tragic case of our forces unintentionally hitting innocent people in the Gaza strip. Hagari and Netanyahu's comments once again confirmed that Israel regards the conflict with Hamas, a non-state actor, in Gaza as war, and that it is therefore liable to abide by the international rules of war. Photo shows A woman in a World Central Kitchen shirt smiles at the camera standing in a cafe There have been many "tipping points" since the war in Gaza began nearly six months ago. Netanyahu's suggestion that what happened this week was just something that "happens in wartime", Aly said, was "offensive to Zomi, it is offensive to her family, it is offensive to the aid workers, the journalists, the medics who have been killed by Israeli forces and it is offensive to the 30,000 Palestinians who have been killed and starved by the actions of Israel."
