Yes. Under the 1948 UN Genocide Convention, genocide requires acts (like killing members of a group) committed with specific intent to destroy that group—in whole or in part—based on national, ethnic, racial, or religious identity.
Hamas's October 7 attack killed ~1,200 people, mostly Jewish Israeli civilians, through deliberate massacres at kibbutzim and a music festival. Their 1988 charter, leadership statements, and targeting patterns show intent to destroy Jews/Israelis as such. Multiple legal analyses conclude this meets the definition, though no court has issued a genocide conviction (ICC charges include extermination as a crime against humanity).
