Codes of ethics in the Middle East

Double Tapper reports on the Israeli Defence Force's Code of Ethics, here's one clause:
'The IDF serviceman will use force of arms only for the purpose of subduing the enemy to the necessary extent and will limit his use of force so as to prevent unnecessary harm to human life and limb, dignity and property.

The IDF servicemen's purity of arms is their self-control in use of armed force. They will use their arms only for the purpose of achieving their mission, without inflicting unnecessary injury to human life or limb; dignity or property, of both soldiers and civilians, with special consideration for the defenseless, whether in wartime, or during routine security operations, or in the absence of combat, or times of peace.'

Now could someone point me  to Hamas or Hezbollah's Code of Ethics? Or does it just say 'kill as many Jews as possible'?
