From Responding to Hamas Attacks from Gaza – Issues of Proportionality: Israel is forced to act in self-defense to protect itself from deliberate missile attacks on its civilians by Hamas terrorists. Although Hamas makes no effort to comply with international law, Israel is committed to limiting itself to a lawful response. This means that, while Hamas uses civilians both as a shield and a target, Israel seeks to limit injury to civilians on both sides. International law recognizes that for a military operation to be lawful, it must be directed at a “legitimate military objective” and be “proportionate.” Under the

Moreover, the very mild Egyptian reaction also indicates that the IDF raid is perceived by the Arab world to be first and foremost a war against
