Hamas Violated the Laws of War
(Times of Israel) Mitch Ginsburg - The many dozen pages in the Israel Foreign Ministry report cataloging Hamas' violations of the laws of armed conflict provide specifics: The al-Tawheed mosque in Khuza'a and the Sheikh Hasnain mosque in Shejaiya were used as weapon storage depots and command posts; other mosque minarets were used as sniper nests. Al-Wafa hospital in Shejaiya "was transformed into a sniper post, an anti-tank missile launch site, a weapons storage facility, a platform for operational surveillance devices, and a cover for tunnel infrastructure." Schools and UN facilities were repeatedly used as cover to enable nearby rocket launches.
