They are money holders, and it was a well financed and coordinated attack. And they are in direct control even now as they try to negotiate ceasefire and hostage release.
True enough, but there’s only so much you can do once the soldiers are actual fighting if you’re not on the field (especially when you don’t particularly care either way). That said, I haven’t seen anything since this “war” started that would serve as evidence to implicate, say, Sinwar in an international court of law. If he says “our plans didn’t involve attacking civilians our soldiers didn’t it out of their own accord” nobody can prove him wrong. Now I do think that’s actually what happened (from a strategic perspective Hamas has too much to lose and too little to gain by killing civilians during a military attack), but even if that’s not the case there’s simply too little evidence to prove it.
Arrest warrant is not a sentence. If he’s brought to the court, he will have a chance to prove the lack of evidence. But even by proxy, leaders are responsible for the actions of their subordinates. Same way we attribute authorization given by leaders sitting in their “war rooms” to launch drone attacks or giving “go” to tactical teams to them and not individual actors.
Up to a point. If he says “I never gave that order” I don’t think anyone can prove otherwise, is what I’m trying to say.
Indirect evidence have the same weight as direct evidence in a court setting. But yes, if it turns out there is no evidence, then the case should be dismissed.
