‘The Laws of War Prohibit Indiscriminate Attacks’: Sari Bashi on Israel Dropping 2,000 Pound Bombs on Gaza

RUSH EXCERPT:

BASHI: "One of the primary ways it's doing that is by dropping these 2,000-pound bombs on very densely packed urban areas in situations in which families are sheltering together, so there are many many people there. The laws of war prohibit indiscriminate attacks. So you have to distinguish between civilians and combatants. You can't deliberately target civilians and you also can’t use weapons in such a way that you cannot distinguish between civilians and combatants. For example, by bombing large densely packed city blocks with weapons that have a very large blast and fragment radius."
