•Rule 113 (of the Geneva convention) states that “Each party to the conflict must take all possible measures to prevent the dead from being despoiled. Mutilation of dead bodies is prohibited.” This rule is applicable in both international and non-international armed conflicts.
That is the international law that you love to talk about. At this point do you have proof that the IDF was correct in saying that Hamas was using that cemetery for operations? You have already admitted you don't. With that being said, being right or wrong in doing so shouldn't the IDF be investigated for violations of Rule 113?
