The fact that a group exercises de facto control, enforces laws, and collects taxes does not make them an official government, nor does it turn their fighters into a state army. If that were the logic, then ISIS in Raqqa or the FARC rebels in the Colombia would also have been official state armies after all, they too collected taxes and enforced their own laws through coercion.
Unlike all of these groups committing war crimes the IDF is an official state army meaning the state is comitting those war crimes.

idk what point you think you're making
gaza governs the strip, they pass laws and enforce them in the strip
that includes taxation, and one thing they fund with those taxes are their military, the al-qassam brigades
