Harming a Gazan Child Sent to Gather Intelligence on Israeli Positions
Question
Hello Rabbi,
I heard that Gazans send children to walk around near Israeli positions in Gaza in order to gather intelligence about them. Is it permissible to harm such children?
Best regards,
Answer
Clearly. If it is known that he is gathering information and there is no other way to prevent him from doing so.
