The biggest problem with this isn’t the horror of the actual war crime. The far more serious concern are the lengths the government will go to avoid holding anyone accountable. That is so much worse because it unintentionally endorses future crimes and challenges the offenders to take ever more offensive actions without fear of consequences.

I do not believe it is unintentional.

They can take out nuclear scientists thousands of kilometers away by either planting bombs in their cars in traffic or firing accurate munitions through their windows when they sleep.

Thousands of kilometers away.

The IDF can be highly sophisticated in their plans and methods when they want to.

Those things you described are also war crimes.

Calling it sophisticated does not change that fact.

No, it’s war. Targeted killing of a military scientist is war. Gunning down civilians trying to get food is a war crime. If we start labelling all war as criminal, the term loses all meaning.

How about killing a scientist that they claim is trying to make a bomb with 15 members of his family and several neighbors including children under age 10.

This claim is not proved. In Europe there is no capital punishment for mass murders but Israel can kill anyone they want with their family without trial or even conclusive evidence and no one can condemn it.

If you do it with a crude hand made bomb it is called terrorism but if you do it with F35 it is called self-defense.
