Question
Is the War of Iron Swords defined as a war of commandment (in the halachic definition that has been established in practice) or not? I would appreciate sources. And if so, does it have practical implications in various matters?
Answer
Hello,
No.
The war is not conducted by a king. Nor according to other conditions of war in the Torah.
