Anything coming from Hamas is certainly not trustworthy, but according to the ICJ, there were quite a few more indications that Israel did this. Just the blocking of food alone is proof of targeting non combatants.

This goes both ways and applies to all conflicts, but somehow we always cherry-pick the source that is not aligned with western interests as the "untrustworthy".

I get the feeling you don't want to hear it, but there is despicable thing called child soldiers.
Their most dangerous battalion, consisting of 1000 infants, was neutralized by the brave IDF Soldiers.
Can't tell if you're disingenuously joking or ignorantly joking. A 17 year old is technically a child.
