Raids literally mean a surprise attack. The Israeli occupying belligerent has never proven that it is targeting resistance, but resorts to conflation by treating everyone in the West Bank as the resistance. Therefore, we use the term 'razzia', as the majority of these actions are about punitive, damaging, and demolishing Palestinian properties, ransacking homes, and rounding up civilians. They all resemble Nazi era operations. Razzia is a term used by the Nazis.
International law strictly prohibits raids against civilians in military occupation, as these are considered acts of violence against a protected population. Under the principle of distinction, all parties must at all times distinguish between civilians and combatants, and attacks must be directed only against military objectives. Raids that target civilians, cause indiscriminate harm, or are expected to cause excessive civilian harm in relation to a military advantage are prohibited.
