Who's Guilty of What in the Hamas-Israel Conflict?
(Washington Post) Charles Lane - Shooting more than 4,000 unguided explosives toward civilian populations in Israel violates all the norms of warfare. That's more than 4,000 war crimes. Hamas stored rockets, and launched them, in or near civilians or civilian structures, just as it did during the 2014 war with Israel. This, too, is a violation of the laws of armed conflict. Israeli wrongdoing, if any, occurred in the context of a generally professional military operation that was carried out in response to Hamas rocket attacks. Hamas' campaign against Israel and its civilian population, by contrast, consisted of nothing but war crimes, from beginning to end.
