Original Note:
Hamas has claimed responsibility for firing rockets at Israël. https://www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_entry/rocket-barrage-fired-at-central-israel-for-1st-time-in-nearly-6-months-hamas-claims-responsibility/ While doing so they were hiding amongst civilians, thereby committing a war crime. https://guide-humanitarian-law.org/content/article/3/human-shields/#:~:text=It%20is%20prohibited%20to%20seize%20or%20to%20use,28%2C%2049%3B%20API%20Art.%2051.7%3B%20APII%20Art.%205.2.c%29. By doing so they made their rocket firing installation a legitimate target. https://www.jpost.com/breaking-news/article-803767?utm_source=jpost.app.apple&utm_medium=share https://www.jpost.com/israel-hamas-war/article-803806?utm_source=jpost.app.apple&utm_medium=share
