International law prohibits looting and plunder by the Israeli occupying belligerent and colonists, classifying it as a war crime and a violation of the occupied people's rights. Both public and private property are protected, and occupying powers must respect the private property of civilians. Property must be returned after occupation ends, and restitution or compensation for resources that have been exploited or damaged can be required.
International law, specifically the law of belligerent occupation, generally prohibits vandalism by occupying forces, though it allows for the destruction of private property only if it is a military necessity and cannot be justified by military advantage. Vandalism by colonists is illegal, especially when it involves the destruction of property not justified by military necessity and carried out wantonly. International law also forbids the acquisition of territory through force.
