Howdy Dutch;
"The IDF has no right under international law to make incursions into Gaza and engaging Pale-stinians in deadly shoot outs."
On the contrary, there is no prohibition in international law against a belligerent party during a period of armed conflict to make in incursion into an hostile entity for the purpose of engaging armed enemy combatants.
The most that you can get out of this legally is that the incursion was a violation of the cease fire, but then, a squad of armed Hamas militants approaching the 1950 armistice line for the purpose of planting explosives is an offensive military operation and is a violation of the truce too. In fact, the Gazans have been violating this half-assed tahadiyeh from day one by firing rockets and mortar rounds into Israel and by attempting to dig terrorist infiltation tunnels. A truce will fail if both sides don`t honor it and your side violated it in spades first.
It is not immoral to kill armed enemy combatants. |
