This is a straight up comical level of war crimes.
This is like the picture of the actress intentionally trying ro break every style guidline with a single photo, it would be hard to come up with a scenario in which you were committing more war crimes at once.

i choose to believe this to keep myself sane. it's a flex. big daddy U.S. is openly encouraging and protecting this.
the cool thing is at least the world is finally recognizing there is no actual "rules based order" but now it's becoming a "brutal domination based order"
yeah but the veneer is now going away. the rules are being burned in a trashcan in full view of the actual, real international community.
the U.S. and it's vassals are a step away from full roman styled Imperium and Dominum backed by "what are you going to do about it you know we are crazy enough to nuke you all"
Yes. This falls under protocol I of the Geneva Convention.
Article 37. – Prohibition of perfidy
It is prohibited to kill, injure or capture an adversary by resort to perfidy. Acts inviting the confidence of an adversary to lead him to believe that he is entitled to, or is obliged to accord, protection under the rules of international law applicable in armed conflict, with intent to betray that confidence, shall constitute perfidy. The following acts are examples of perfidy:
(a) The feigning of an intent to negotiate under a flag of truce or of a surrender;
(b) The feigning of an incapacitation by wounds or sickness;
(c) The feigning of civilian, non-combatant status; and
(d) The feigning of protected status by the use of signs, emblems or uniforms of the United Nations or of neutral or other States not Parties to the conflict.
Healthcare providers and patients alike are always considered civilian, non-combatants.
Doesn't matter even if true, still a war crime. You cannot attack or target Persons Hors de Combat. You are never allowed to target injured persons who have laid down arms or are hospitalized, enemy combatant or no.
murdering hospitalized people is a war crime, isn't it?

Also dressing up as a doctor to infiltrate a hospital to carry out a war crime, has to be a war crime itself.

Cartoon bad guy country, but even cartoon bad guys don't stoop this low and yet israhell is the shining beacon of democracy yada yada
The loophole is that perfidy is a made up word, therefore the content of Article 37 is actually gibberish
They were hospitalized Hamas Gunmen and we know that because... uh... Israel said so.

I mean, I'm just surprised they didn't bomb the hospital straight out.
Well, the article says "Gunmen", so I assume they had berettas soddered to their hands a la Guns Akimbo.

one of the assassination targets was already fucking PARALYZED
Probably, but it's just another one for the pile at this point.

<furiously shaking my finger> that's illegal!
