Jewish farmers fly to The Hague to sue Hamas for harming civilians and civilian agriculture.
The suit will focus on Hamas violations of the Rome Statute, including the use of children in warfare, use of a civilian population as human shields, attacking Israel’s borders, and the burning of civilians’ agricultural fields via incendiary balloons.
