The European Union on Sunday condemned Hamas for using "hospitals and civilians as human shields" in Gaza, while also urging Israel to show "maximum restraint" to protect civilians.
The presence or movements of the civilian population or individual civilians
shall not be used to render certain points or areas immune from military
operations, in particular in attempts to shield military objectives from attacks
or to shield, favour or impede military operations. The Parties to the conflict
shall not direct the movement of the civilian population or individual civilians
in order to attempt to shield military objectives from attacks or to shield
military operations.
Using human shields is a war crime, holding civilians hostage is a war crime, perfidy is a war crime, using recognized medical organization’s infrastructure is a war crime (transporting military assets in an ambulance from Red Cross/Red Crescent is a major no no). On Israel’s side, targeting journalists is a war crime, and targeting civilian infrastructure is a war crime, civilian mass punishment is a war crime.
Which war law is being broken?
That one.
So obviously the answer is kill the civvies
Israel, to their credit, are taking steps to avoid civilian casualties, including leaflet drops, phone calls, and the infamous “roof knocking”.
Looking at the numbers they are doing great. For years even, championing, killing and injuring 20+ times more.
