Question: Are there rules for using armed drones in war?

Answer: Yes, there are rules governing the use of armed drones in warfare, primarily drawn from international humanitarian law (IHL) and international human rights law. These rules emphasize the principles of distinction, proportionality, and precaution in attack, ensuring that civilians and civilian objects are protected. While IHL doesn't specifically prohibit armed drones, their use is subject to these established principles.

There are videos found showing clear collateral murder with armed drones. The Americans did something similar but from a helicopter during the Iraq war of 2007.

The Israelis are systematically claiming that the target is Hamas without providing any evidence of authentic nature showing that selecting and targeting of one or more persons were of legitimate military objective, while meaning "they are all Hamas." We do not consider Israeli and pro-Israeli social media posts as evidence, but official documents verified on the ground and confirmed by independent parties. 

Based on this Israeli action, GLOSM/PARES has decided to treat all information found as "war crime as part of 'Killing members of a group' as defined in the Genocide Convention, confirmed by viewing" as long as the Israelis do not allow anyone from outside, and who does have no relation to the parties involved, to verify.
