This was not a Maximum force operation
A Fuel Air explosive detonated over the targeted building might be considered maximum force, but this was not.
This terrorist is hiding among civilians on the bet that the civilians will protect him. when civilians willingly go along with this strategy they become enemy combatants.
The Palestinians can justify attacking a bus full of civilians because there are 4 of 5 Isrealie soldiers on the bus. But Isreal can't attack a building where the head of a terrorist organization is hiding?
Boy, if I follow your logic: Janet Reno should be brought up on War crime charges. After all, she killed more people in her Waco operation than the Isrealies killed in this operation.
