    Even if Hamas has a command center underneath the hospital, it doesn’t justify killing civilians inside the hospital.

    Edit: clarification of my point

          So what’s the Alternative?

          Hamas made the hospital into a legitimate target in a war by using it like that.

          Can’t evacuate, can’t bomb, can’t go in on foot - why are people always saying what they don’t want but never what the Alternative is?

          Should Hamas be rewarded for using their most vulnerable civilians as a shield like this?

            Look, setting aside the whole human shields argument; that’s wholly irrelevant here. We’re talking sniper fire. Like the one where you take aim, go “I have a clear shot” and shoot. The idea of “there are Hamas operatives in this building so it’s okay” only works (I mean it doesn’t but if you assume it does) when you can’t choose your targets; a soldier holding a sniper and taking individual shots isn’t that.

      While we can’t 100% say they don’t have a command center underneath the hospital, Israel’s evidence so far has been fabricated. The video claims a random calendar is a guard shift list, for example.

      Edit: Typo.
