Decisions of the Political Committee in the Laws of War

24th of Cheshvan, 5767

Decision of the Political Committee of the Sanhedrin

1. A house from which people are firing is to be considered a target, even if there are civilians residing in it.

2. A house which contains means of fighting, indeed those that live there are permitted, and should not be found there, as it is a legal target for an attack.

3. A preventative atomic attack is permissible against a nation which comes to destroy another.

Present:

Rabbi Yoel Schwartz
