The International Criminal Court (ICC) has jurisdiction over the international crimes committed in the Palestinian territories because Palestine, unlike Israel, is a state party to the ICC and had previously asked the ICC to investigate the situation. That mandate now extends to current crimes as well.

On the other side Hamas' killing and taking civilians , raping and or later killing some of them then parading their naked bodies and still keeping hostages was a serious violation of International Humanitarian Law (IHL).

Human laws can and should be applied only to those in society who behave like humans. You cannot apply human laws to humans who depict savage, ruthless behavior similar to wild beasts.
