They were definitely terrorist actions, not sure about war crimes. But what the IDF are doing is definitely war crimes.
Attacking civilian targets and taking civilian hostages are both very unambiguously war crimes.
That's the thing, though-- military service is compulsory in Israel at the age of 18. There are certainly conscientious objectors who don't serve, and the compulsory draft excludes some but not all women; but the line between civilian and soldier in Israel is blurry, not clear-cut like it is in countries without mandatory military service.
On the other hand, there is no compulsory military service in Palestine because the Oslo II accord does not allow Palestinians to have a standing army, air force, or navy.
Since you have a blurry excuse for everything : what about killed foreigners, whom aren't Israeli neither jew ?
I don't think you're asking this question in good faith, so I'm not going to engage in a conversation with you. Have a good morning!
