  • The Knesset also contains people opposed to the war. I don’t see how such an attack would bring a military advantage.

    In so far as objects are concerned, military objectives are limited to those objects which by their nature, location, purpose or use make an effective contribution to military action and whose partial or total destruction, capture or neutralization, in the circumstances ruling at the time, offers a definite military advantage.

    Killing Hamas civilian leaders in charge of internal security, meaning they also hunt Israeli spies, would bring an obvious military advantage.

    Attacking the Israeli defense ministry or border police, the prime minister, or the cabinet could be justified as giving a military advantage.

    Now, I’m not sure if civilian leadership of the armed forces count as combatants or not. However an attack should be covered by the above. IANAL of course.

    Don’t get me wrong. Israel certainly commits war crimes, I’m not sure this was one.
