Hamas also committed war crimes in Israel, which enables Israel to take action against them under IHL. https://www.cfr.org/article/what-international-law-has-say-about-israel-hamas-war https://law.mpg.de/news/international-law-experts-christian-marxsen-and-florian-kriener-answer-your-questions-on-the-gaza-israel-conflict/ https://amp.theguardian.com/world/2023/oct/31/have-war-crimes-been-committed-in-israel-and-gaza-and-what-international-laws-apply
