Original Note:
Israel's evacuation orders state that anyone who does not evacuate will be considered a terrorist and valid military target. This violates the Geneva Convention by 1) including children as military targets (Article 77 ); 2) forced displacement of civilians (Article 49). https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2023/10/22/israel-hamas-war-news-gaza-aid-updates/#link-HW6X3JZXDFGWLPYFA6667YB4G4 https://web.archive.org/web/20231014132458/https://www.ft.com/content/eb4717fc-432e-4251-b778-7a365f8de825?accessToken=zwAGB63wDZbYkdPrRxf8Qy5CUdO3eHo2X43oJQ.MEQCIQDcwGudDMv5bHMEEl000xy4DPGx7c0vFLiArY6aUdpF2AIfL1wVgRM8vtVUAlUm6FxWr3LlBBJD1XlhZAq_ln33rw&sharetype=gift&token=37a455ea-c676-4b2f-9449-fbbae0077868 https://ihl-databases.icrc.org/en/customary-ihl/v1/rule129#:~:text=Parties%20to%20an%20international%20armed,imperative%20military%20reasons%20so%20demand. https://ihl-databases.icrc.org/ar/customary-ihl/v2/rule7
