Original Note:
re: Hamas, PIJ, PFLP, DFLP, etc are not "armed groups." International Humanitarian Law doesn't distinguish lawful and unlawful combatants this way. Both are bound; to suggest otherwise would be to suggest that terrorist groups are by definition not ever guilty of war crimes. https://www.icrc.org/en/document/israel-and-occupied-territories-icrc-calls-immediate-protection-civilians-after-horrific
