State or Non-State Actor
Israel considers itself engaged in an armed conflict with Hamas, which occupies Gaza.
The Int Law status of "Palestine" itself is obscure.

Hamas
The Gaza-Hamas situation with Israel is similar to the AQ-Taliban situation with the US (where Common Article 3 of the 1949 GCs is the controlling law). But, how another nation will view it depends on its own ratifications or not of the various post-1949 conventions, and its own policy on recognition of nation-states and diplomatic recognition of governments.
