Largely, however every military conflict includes war crimes at some level on all sides if the factions are large enough. This is countered by a process of military justice in which is just as hard to overcome the burden of proof as criminal law is within the United States judicial system.
Anyone who makes universal claims for or against one side in a conflict and does not caveat with an understanding of how imperfect any justice system is would be a sign that they are simple propaganda.
You can make ethical distinctions between factions in the application of military justice internally, how complicit command decisions are in war crimes committed, and most importantly by not lumping politicians, military, and random citizens together in their actions and narratives. When I speak of actions and war crimes(especially in terms of genocide), I refer solely to the IDF. There are many unethical hotshot politicians out there. There is no separating President Putin from policies in Ukraine though so you can make a distinction there easily.
So, do you mean that the casualties of Israeli aggression all fall under “general warfare”? Is this your argument? Just so I understand.

So yes, largely but not fully I guess. Thanks.
