The International Legal Characterization of the Crimes of the Zionist Entity against Palestinians; Operation Al-Aqsa Flood as a Model

The cowardly Zionist entity justified its recent aggression against the Gaza Strip through bombings, destruction, and killings, claiming these actions were part of its legal exercise of the right to self-defense, particularly citing legitimate self-defense under Article 51 of the United Nations Charter. This was ostensibly in response to the recent "Operation Al-Aqsa Flood." The entity used this reasoning to justify its deployment of force, aerial and ground bombardments of cities and residential neighborhoods in Gaza, and the killing of innocent civilians, including children, women, the elderly, and the vulnerable. This approach directly violates the provisions of international law governing armed conflicts.
