    The IDF have threatened to attack hospitals (and have in the past. Just probably not last week) unless they evacuate under unverifiable claims that Hamas are using those as bases. Which, if true, is the situation where you get troops in to secure the injured civillians.

    Similarly, the IDF have made it clear that they watched too much Speed and will “shoot the hostage” regardless of how many human shields Hamas keeps.

    And there is the ongoing trend of “Okay, all good Gazan Palestinians should evacuate along these routes. Oops, we bombed those too”

    As for “how can a nation at war commit crimes”: Ignoring the concept of a “war crime”, it is well worth looking up what Imperial Japan did in the name of war. Nobody cares about asians so this tends to get forgotten but they really are the poster children for horrific atrocities under the guise of war.

    War is inherently barbaric. But the IDF, like many nations, have used this war as an excuse to vent a LOT of pent up aggression.
