    No, according to the Geneva Conventions only armed combatants are legitimate targets. A militant Hamas member who is injured and in hospital is not a legitimate target.

    A journalist, even if he was a Hamas member, is not a legitimate target.

    A doctor, even if he worked for the Hamas run health ministry is not a legitimate target.

      Show me where in the Geneva convention it says this. Go on, find this in the rules of war where it says that. I’ll wait.

      You know just making shit up doesn’t further your cause, it just makes people distrust you.
