HAMAS, as usual, has shown total contempt for the rules of war with its massacres and hostage-taking.

Israel claims to be following the rules, but in practical terms is violating them massively. Its attacks on hospitals and homes violate them, and blockage of food and medicine, are clear violations, and they could kill hundreds of thousands of civilians as the fighting continues.

*No power, water or fuel to Gaza until hostages freed, says Israel minister.* That makes it explicit. Isn't denying fuel to hospitals and water to the whole population a war crime?

Preventing civilians from fleeing the battlefield may also be a war crime. I don't know for certain but I expect so.
