Isn't pretending you're civilian like a war crime or something?

Also pretending you are a medic is a big nono on the Geneva's convention.
It looks like they are trying to get the war crime bingo.
Geneva's checklist
They've had it for awhile, they're going for platinum at this point.
Yes, it's known as perfidy.
Yes, but I haven't seen the footage, I'm so incredibly busy you see. So I couldn't possibly remark on whether or not this is or was a war crime. And, actually, it's really quite gauche of you to ask, to be perfectly honest.
Edit: context
This doesn't bode well for Palestinian side
Just some more casual war crimes....
Casual war crimes are in this season.
This is one of those war crimes you can know very little about war crimes and still identify. It’s just that fucked.
It's called "perfidy"
Quoting Wikipedia:
In the context of war, perfidy is a form of deception in which one side promises to act in good faith with the intention of breaking that promise once the unsuspecting enemy is exposed.
Well that's certainly a war crime. Wonder if the rest of the world will look the other way on this too.
Oil is involved so... yes.:-(
Remember the Republicans in the USA are still salivating over how to stop funding to curb Russian aggression while simultaneously wanting to fund Israel.
We went from being one step away to joining with Ukraine to now being one step away from joining Israel.
What oil? Golda Meir famously said this:
Let me tell you something that we Israelis have against Moses. He took us 40 years through the desert in order to bring us to the one spot in the Middle East that has no oil.

If there is one thing this part of the world is notorious for - other than its eternal conflict and importance to three world religions - it's how remarkably poor in terms of natural resources it is.
I mean Gaza has offshore natural gas.
It does, it's a rare exception, but they were neither known back then nor have been exploited yet.
Interestingly, Israel was brokering a deal between Egypt, the PA and Hamas for exploitation of this field. It would have resulted in energy independence for Gaza and a significant income stream for both Hamas and PA (or more realistically, the offshore accounts of the leaders of both governments). As far as I know, it was close to being finalized, with ongoing negotiations until October 7.
It'll never happen now, of course.
Why negotiate for rights when you can just conquer and take?
That's a weak point to make. Israel could have exploited these fields without a ground war in Gaza.
They're just doing it so blatantly so they can show everyone they can get away with it. It's the same reason Putin kills his rivals in ways that obviously implicate him, he wants people to know it was him and nobody can do anything about it.
This is wildly fucked up. Why are they literally using terrorist tactics?
terrorism is the war of poor
Hold up a mirror so the script gets flipped
'cause when it's in reverse it ain't wrong no more
Warfare's the terrorism of the rich
Brother Ali - Mourning in America
Because in war, the only goal is to remove the enemy by any means. Warcrimes mean nearly nothing if you remove the entire opposition. Victors write history books.
It's global nuclear war time 😎
The real terrorists are in the IDF.
Israel was literally founded by Irgun - a terrorist organization.
Check out the r/worldnews thread. Example:
So let me get this straight.
Israel bombs hospitals to target Hamas terrorists. Everyone hates that because of the indirect casualties to civilian lives and direct damage to precious infrastructure.
Israel then does targeted attacks inside hospitals and ensures only Hamas terrorists die with very minimal damage to anything else. Everyone hates that because "they didn't do it right."
So then how are they supposed to get into hospitals to take these guys down? Is it a free terrorist shelter now? Is everyone inside a hospital safe from retaliation?
They want praise for only committing like three separate warcrimes instead of blowing up the already occupied hospital.

They seem to become more desperate now. Everything that they do will return to them someday.
This is a war crime. Israel is a pariah state
This type of actions are done on purpose to blurry the line between civilians and army so no one knows who is who. Everyone is paranoid so hamas kills more civilans, so Israel government can kill more civilans in retribution. Over all, Isriaelly goverment will win, since they are backed by US and they will take over all the land from Palestinians.
All the shocked Pikachus in here that never watched Munich.
I like how this one dude just storms in casually with his wheelchair like some Legendary grade loot box skin
Hey, a real example of evil being done by people in drag.
They were projecting?!? 
Always has been 🌍 🔫
Wait, how can they disguise as women?
Aren't there any women in the Israeli forces?
Additional new video footage here
The moment the IDF goes in for their hospital assasination is at 1:13
This happened at 05:30AM while they were sleeping.
According to Reuters the IDF shot all three men through the head in their sleep simultaneously and did not try to arrest them. One of the men was hospitalized for three months because of an IDF drone strike.
Rumor: forums online say the killed people were spokesmen not fighters. However this is not confirmed by any news source so far and might be false.
