Israeli Think Tank: Hamas Is Committing War Crimes
(Israel Hayom) Edna Adato - Hamas' actions in the fighting of recent days constitute war crimes, the Israel Democracy Institute says in a position paper published Wednesday. "Rocket attacks against unprotected Israeli civilians who do not pose a concrete military threat are a clear violation of international law and impose individual criminal responsibility on the perpetrators of the launchings." The document argued that it was permissible for Israel to attack civilian structures that Hamas had turned into weapons storehouses and meeting places if there was proof that they were being used for military purposes.
