Original Note:
The abduction of hostages, as Hamas did on 7 Oct and which Israel managed to free in this operation, constitutes a war crime in itself. Putting military assets into civilian areas is a further war crime which Hamas committed. Hamas is also known to disguise its soldiers. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/12/07/briefing/the-civilian-death-toll-in-gaza.html https://ihl-databases.icrc.org/en/customary-ihl/v1/rule96
