A war crime doesn't have to be deliberate or intentially designed to kill civilians. Bringing people's houses down on top of them will almost as surely kill them as being bombed or shot.

Some of the houses collapsed as a result of booby traps - some 5 houses collapsed killing 13 Israelis during the mission.
The Israelis knew this action was likely to result in massive civilian casualties, and decided to do it anyways, instead of perhaps, oh, I don't know . . . how about not invading the camp?

Gee, that's a great option

Let's also cancel the police force, since capturing criminals may accidentally hurt innocent people caught in the chase.
Home detruction is a particularly Israeli form of war crime.
Most of the home destructuction took place after the battle ended, to make sure that no booby traps or bomb factories survive.
It also took palce in just a part of the camp, while the rest of it is still standing.
They've been doing it since the very begining, never giving people adequate time to get their stuff out of the houses, often just barely enough to to avoid being crushed.
Yes, I'd love to see them save explosive belts and weapons

Sometimes they don't even bother, as in Kibbyah, where they say they told the hiding villagers that the homes would be dynamited, bbut then shot at anyone who tried to escape.


That's why the only ones dead are those who hid from IDF?
Here's an idea. Arm the Palestinians to parity with the Israelis. Then cut both sides off completely, and let them slaughter each other until they decide that their war is stupid.
Yeah, great idea.
Why not give the palestinians tanks, so they could continue targetting Israeli civilians with better aim
