Trial by which court?
This is standard rules of war. Soldiers don’t have to convene a court before shooting at enemy combatants.

Well, the ICC ?
OP states that "one the defendants carried out the justice sought by the ICC". That's incorrect. One of the defendants went farther than any sentence the ICC would have decided.
As you say, this is an act of war (killing ennemies), not an act of justice (trial and prosecution) .

The Palestinian government Hamas broadcasting themselves kidnapping a 6 year old girl to the world is standard rules of war (let alone those much worse things they did that day, the kidnapping was just the first to show up on my feeds that day)?
Why try to sanitize their unjustifiable behavior?

> So was most of what was done on October 7th by Hamas...
Yeah, I don't think mass executing partygoers at a music festival has anything to do with "the standard rules of war."
Israel's response was obviously disproportionate but certainly fell within the standard conventions of warfare (e.g. executing enemy commanders being housed/protected by the populace is fairly standard.)
Using "partygoers" without mentionning such party happened on lands stolen with violence is a bit dishonest.
Hamas is an indirect creation of Israel, they wouldn't exist if not for decade of violence and humiliation from Israel. In the same vein, the Likoud exist because of the PFLP and maintain its power thanks to the presence of Hamas. Both the extreme right in Israel and the Islamist movements in Palestine feed themselves and survive thanks to hatred and have no reason nor any wish to make this conflict stop. Netanyahu and his minions were probably laughing at the sights of the victims of october 7 knowing this would only help them.enforce their politics.
