An occupational force cannot claim self defense.The wild assumptions without checking facts is always entertaining.
Aside from the Ongoing war started by the Arab League in 48 we also have Hamas declaring its own little private war.
Its a war Numbnuts in war the United Nations Charter clearly gives member states a right to defend themselves . In which case jurisdiction under domestic law is irrelevant.
Quote
United Nations Charter - Article 51
“Nothing in the present Charter shall impair the inherent right of individual or collective self-defence if an armed attack occurs against a Member of the United Nations, until the Security Council has taken measures necessary to maintain international peace and security. Measures taken by Members in the exercise of this right of self-defence shall be immediately reported to the Security Council and shall not in any way affect the authority and responsibility of the Security Council under the present Charter to take at any time such action as it deems necessary in order to maintain or restore international peace and security.”

Imminent threat ? preemptive self defense ?
No matter how you slice it, Israel has a right to self defense.
Although I'd just love to hear your explanation about what you call "jurisdiction" ;--) I kinda got a bang out of that one Princes.
Well then the Arab Muslim forces can't claim self defense. After all they are occupying land intended for the creation of a national Jewish homeland.
The Arab Muslims were awarded roughly 80% of the mandated area. So why are they occupying even one square inch of the remaining 20% intended for the creation of a national Jewish homeland ?
By your own admission an occupier cannot claim self defense ( although you don't have a legal leg to stand on with that claim ) so even under these imaginary laws you seem to believe in, the Arab Muslims west of the Jordan cannot claim their acts of aggression are self defense. Since they are the occupying force in the area.
You should know by now that if an International law works for the benefit of Isreal or the Jews then it does not exist. Which is why the likes of billo deny the existence of the LoN transcripts that gave the land of Palestine to the Jewish people for their NATIONal home. So the Jews are the illegal immigrants in their eyes and should be forcibly removed to death camps and gas chambers to satisfy their Jew hatred
