Rules of engagement

Israel's rules of engagement in Gaza are secret, but evidence shows that either they are so lax as to be meaningless, or else generally ignored in practice.

*Zomi and her colleagues [killed in the aid convoy] were saving lives. Their deaths deserve our outrage.*

Things like this happen in war, and no army can make them absolutely impossible. But a civilized army takes steps that make them far less frequent. Israel seems to be shrugging that off.
