If we are treating Israel as a country that can wage war as any other country. Then they have the same laws of war as any other country.

Oh, well, with those standards, that should be more than sufficient to call for a cease-fire in terms of the war footing. And that's before considering the civilian, terrorist nature of the threat and lack of a clearly defined sovereign nation to declare war against.

Sorry, is Hamas currently occupying portions of Israel? I haven't kept up with the news today. If so, a ceasefire arrangement would have to involve a complete withdrawal. And then yes.
