The Israeli government and Hamas say they are adhering to international humanitarian law.
Smoke rises after an Israeli airstrike in northern Gaza City on Thursday. As the war between Israel and Hamas escalates in Gaza, both sides have said they are adhering to international law.that his group, which led the attacks that killed more than 1,300 people in Israel, “obeys all international and moral laws.” He said the operation targeted only “military posts,” despite clear evidence that hundreds of civilians were among those killed by Palestinian militants.
The United Nations and other rights groups have criticized Israel’s military campaign as indiscriminate, saying it violates international humanitarian law by putting civilians at risk. The Israeli military’s alleged use of white phosphorus, an incendiary weapon prohibited under international law, and its warning Friday to Gaza residents to evacuate the northern part of the enclave, have raised fears of a humanitarian catastrophe.
