I said in a much earlier post. Any action that Israel does in Gaza, is going to pretty much be a war crime. I mean there are only civilian buildings in Gaza. Israel cut off power, water, food and essentials to Gaza, which is actually a war crime by definition. Then they do the absolute bare minimum, purely performatively, asking the Gazans to evacuate etc. and just hit everything they think is a Hamas hideout with no regard for civilian casualties.
Then there is the Israeli attitude, many of which I have personally observed on my friends list on FB, where every single one has been calling for collective punishments. If this is just normal people, I have no doubt this attitude prevails in the army too. Here is a pic from my friends FB page. I had to unfollow this guy for all the racist shit he posts. Today he posted "Pallywood", where this video showed Palestinians using make up to simulate deaths, which was disgusting given the images we have all seen from Gaza. I mean how deluded do you have to be to post that nonsense?

Also here is the link to war crime definitions of the UN:
