    It's legally how the Geneva Conventions work. You are only bound to them if the other side agrees to it as well.

    However, Hamas is not the Gaza Strip, it is not Palestine, and Israel claims the Strip as its territory anyways so to claim the civilian population doesn't accept the Convention so they aren't bound by it is ludicrous.
