Military Necessity allows a state party to an armed conflict to attack military targets and military operatives, while humanitarian consideration obliges warring parties to distinguish military objects and combatants, from civilian objects and population, while maintaining proportionality.This research examines the complex issue of reconciling military necessity and humanitarian considerations within the context of the Israeli-Hamas armed conflict.

This study aims to address the current events in the Israeli-Hamas conflict, and to analyze their implications on international humanitarian law (IHL), human rights and international criminal law. By analyzing the legal framework, ethical dilemmas, and practical implications, this research provides an insight into the complexities of the conflict and the dilemma of establishing a harmonious relationship between military necessity and humanitarian concerns.
