"Foremost among the rules of international humanitarian law is the rule that parties to a conflict must distinguish at all times between combatants and civilians. Civilians may never be the target of attack. Warring parties are required to take all feasible precautions to minimize harm to civilians and civilian objects, such as homes, shops, schools, and medical facilities. Attacks may target only combatants and military objectives. Attacks that target civilians or fail to discriminate between combatants and civilians, or that would cause disproportionate harm to the civilian population compared to the anticipated military gain, are prohibited..."

@Justice30 how would you apply that rule to effectively combat Hamas in Gaza?

It would be the same challenge as if terrorists were firing on civilians from from office block packed with civilians... What you wouldn't do is blow up the office block...

... or if a terrorists fired on victims from a crowd ... You wouldn't rake the crowd with machine-gun fire...
