You ASSUME there weren't 19 other Hamas members there too? And how many spotters are required to make it a target? One. And who is responsible for the deaths if the enemy hides behind human shields? The enemy is. These were willing shields no less, volunteers: they wanted to protect the Hamas operative. They may have been Hamas themselves, that's highly likely.
That IS in the GC btw: hiding behind civilians and not wearing a uniform are both War Crimes. If a soldier is captured carrying out missions in civilian clothing (ie in disguise) the GC no longer applies to them. The GC basically asks to not torture them too much before execution.
Do I defend "everything" the IDF does? This is SO TYPICAL of leftists and their fallacies@! It's too funny how you ALL do the exact same things given enough time to show your true colours!
ANSWER (Apparently I have to label my answers so you don't miss them)
No. I do not defend "everything" the IDF does. I DO defend when they are falsely accused or when they're attacked for doing what is perfectly lawful. Also when they're held to a double standard. For example: Hamas can deliberately target civilians, that's ok, it's "resistance" says the Media. A civilian gets killed when the IDF blows up a car full of Hamas members? That's murder says the Media. & etc.
