Original Note:
Gaza is not occupied. Israel fully withdrew in 2005 and can under no reasonable legal interpretation be considered to have "effective control" of the territory. The restrictive interpretation of Article 51 as not applying to Israel in this case is heavily disputed. https://www.corteidh.or.cr/tablas/r29313.pdf https://www.rulac.org/assets/downloads/Ferraro_-_Beginning_and_end_of_occupation.pdf https://www.cfr.org/article/what-international-law-has-say-about-israel-hamas-war https://www.cfr.org/podcasts/laws-war-matthew-waxman
