You elide the fact that the term “military target” has been stretched so far by countries like Israel that it’s meaningless in their hands.

They now claim that any area with a sufficient large number of people they deem are “terrorists” is a legitimate target.

They use that to “legitimately” target villages, hospitals and schools.

These are crimes. The point of defining war crimes is to compel state not to take “opportunities” at the cost of innocent lives. It’s never okay.

The irony of course being that Israel deeply embedded me military facilities in cities and civilian areas itself.
