This Just Security post on the illegality of Israel's attack on Iran by Adil Haque is brilliant. It dismantles the 2 arguments for Israel's position that have created the false appearance of a legal debate, where none is apposite. Israel launched an illegal aggression.

We can assert that directly targeting or indiscriminately firing on individuals, ostensibly in the process of trying to reach life-saving humanitarian aid, is a war crime to the extent that their conduct leaves little doubt about what they are doing:

The ICC Pre-Trial Chamber has rejected Israel's request to withdraw or vacate the arrest warrants for Netanyahu and Gallant and to suspend the ongoing investigation. I will add a đź§µ below soon.
