It keeps turning out that everything they say is true. Hell, even Amnesty has an article from 2015 saying they used hospitals for torture. https://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/news/2015/05/gaza-palestinians-tortured-summarily-killed-by-hamas-forces-during-2014-conflict/

Whoa crazy an empty disused office being used for a single offense 10 years ago. This is definite proof that the entire hospital is a Hamas command center.

Now show me that massive Hamas base under Al-Shifa that the IDF actually claimed existed

Better bomb some civilians, snipe some little girls, ruin infrastructure, stop ambulances, and flood the sewers so those Palestinian scu.. I mean Hamas, can learn their place... There, justified.

When it comes to human shields, the only independent verification back in 2014 (Amnesty link) is of Weapons (not rockets) hidden at a vacant school, situated btwn 2 UNRWA schools housing displaced people, by a Palestinian armed group.

The Guardian journalists had encountered a couple individuals in 2014 too.

HRW on Laws-of-War Violations 2009

Amnesty on Hamas War Crimes 2023

Yet none of those come remotely close to making hospitals and schools bombing targets. Even if all the IDF claims were true, that does not exempt those hospitals and schools as protected under international law.

While we're on the subject, let's look at how the IDF uses Human Shields including Children (2013 Report)
