Original Note:
Art. 3 of the Geneva Convention prohibits the taking of hostages (https://ihl-databases.icrc.org/en/customary-ihl/v1/rule96). The "Right to Rescue" is considered part of the inherent right to self-defense of Art. 51 in the UN Charter. Israel met the burden of the immediacy of threat to the hostages created by Hamas.
