It might not be illegal to use but according to the article:
It's just a little shady to use it when Israel obviously has the upper hand, there is no need to be using things that will obviously be detrimental to civilians.
And yeah, the militants were supposedly in the vicinity of the school, but the thing is Israel KNEW before they bombed it. They knew before that the militants were actually not in the school, but they decided to bomb it anyways. |
That's not what I'm reading. I'm reading that the latest word from Israel is that they knew Hamas had fired from the area and tried to bomb where they were, but one mortar misfired by 30 meters. Sure, we don't know who to believe, but I find it pretty implausible that Israel knew there were no Hamas militants at the school, but said, "hey, what the hell, let's kill some kids just for fun." Only one of three shells fired by Israel hit the school, and two hit the target they were aiming at, sez Israel today.
