Can someone ELI5 how come when Israel is killing people abroad it is all OK but when Russia is doing the same everyone is outraged?

I mean what happened with international law, the right of every human being of getting a fair trial, and you know other pretty basic human rights?

This is the best summary I could come up with:

Mr Regev stopped short of confirming Israel carried out the assassination, a standard position for Israeli officials, but told MSNBC: "Whoever did it, it must be clear that this was not an attack on the Lebanese state.

On that day, waves of Hamas gunmen invaded Israel and attacked communities around the border, killing about 1,200 people, mostly civilians, and taking around 240 to Gaza as hostages.

Lebanon's state news agency said Arouri was killed by an Israeli drone attack on a Hamas office in the southern Beirut suburb of Dahiyeh on Tuesday night.

A witness from the Reuters news agency saw firefighters and paramedics gathered around a high-rise building where there was a large hole in what appeared to be the third floor.

Mr Haniyeh, the head of Hamas's political wing, called the attack a "cowardly... terrorist act, a violation of Lebanon's sovereignty, and an expansion of its circle of aggression".

Arouri was also considered the de facto leader of Hamas's military wing in the West Bank, overseeing attacks there, according to Israeli media reports.

The original article contains 674 words, the summary contains 175 words. Saved 74%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!

Operation Wrath of God 2.0

Those Hamas leaders in Qatar should be getting pretty nervous about now.
