According to Human Rights Watch:
“the targeting and capture of enemy soldiers is allowed under international humanitarian law.”

And we all know what isn't allowed, but let's just go over it:
Targeting civilian infrastrusture, like airports, roads, homes, villages, towns, bridges and ports...targeting civilians of course goes without saying, and no amount of calling it retaliation or self-defence will wipe the blood off anyone's hands...targeting ambulances ..not to mention the unethical use cluster munitions in populated areas, as well as the suspected use of chemical weapons...and to top it off, why not add killing UN observers...
But yeah, keep saying Hezbollah started it..it will help you sleep better at night.
