Natasha Hausdorff discusses how the IDF strikes according to internaitonal humanitarian law
Israel: State of a Nation
International lawyer Natasha Hausdorff provides insights into how the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) navigate the complexities of international humanitarian law concerning military strikes. She explains the IDF's approach to meeting proportionality requirements, which is a major component of these laws. Proportionality is assessed by considering whether the anticipated military advantage of an operation outweighs potential civilian harm. Hausdorff's discussion sheds light on how these legal standards influence IDF operations in conflict scenarios, particularly in balancing military necessity and humanitarian concerns.
