Original Note:
What Israel is doing is called a 'reprisal' under International law which forbids all reprisals against civilian persons and objects protected by the 1949 Geneva Conventions and their 1977 Additional Protocols. Hamas' crimes cannot be used as a justification for war crimes. https://guide-humanitarian-law.org/content/article/3/reprisals/
