Original Note:
Hamas isn’t seen as a State party, but a terrorist organization, which means they can’t perform self-defense on Palestines behalf according to IHL. Therefore, their attacks, which in common opinion constitute war crimes, do, in principle, enable Israel’s right to self-defense. https://www.cfr.org/article/what-international-law-has-say-about-israel-hamas-war
