    So Hamas was not committing war crimes when they shot up that music festival because surely there were some IDF soldiers in there?

    The moment unarmed people that have nothing to do with the war are knowingly targeted is the moment any party crosses the line

      It’s a terrorist act and is a crime. It’s not a war crime as war was not declared. Hamas is not a uniformed military and they don’t fall under traditional laws of war. They are terrorists and international law gives great latitude on ways to eliminate them.
