KILLINGS & MURDER

International law, specifically International Humanitarian Law (IHL), permits belligerents to kill enemy combatants during hostilities to achieve military objectives, but prohibits killing civilians, those hors de combat (out of the fight), or attacks without distinction, under principles of distinction, proportionality, and precaution; otherwise, it constitutes war crimes like willful killing, punishable under international criminal law. Murdering civilians or unarmed soldiers is generally a grave breach, violating core Geneva Conventions principles.

When acts and or activities by the Israeli war belligerent targeting the colonized people in Gaza are systematic, and or are on a large scale, we consider these acts and activities as shown in the 'breadcrumbs'. This does not include violations, which refer to breaches of rules and international law.
