    Is there actually any proof that Hamas has used hospitals? The Al-shifa hospital staff has denied this in every interview and no reporter has shown proof of it being real.

      Yeah there’s videos of Hamas guys shooting from hospitals. Including a rocket launcher (which probably killed someone with the back last)! Monsters

      There were the photographs that showed a crater in the hospital parking lot made by a rocket rather than a jdam. But I don’t think we know if it was from a rocket launch, or an accidental landing after a failure.

        Rockets are portable. Even if a rocket was launched from a parking space it’s not evidence that the hospital is a hamas base like the government claimed. That is not sufficient evidence even if it was true and may be a war crime to blow up the hospital as a result.

          It’s telling you that Hamas is using the hospital as a launch site. That’s enough to call it an active military target. Do you need pictures of terrorists waving at the camera from hospital windows to believe it?

            Actually yes evidence will be needed since there’s been a ton of false reporting and rumors during this war. Like I said, it’s dubious. And even then, I find it hard to believe the IDF would be that stupid as to fall for a bait like that; standing in front of a hospital and shooting and running away so that Israel would blow up the hospital. You don’t see a problem with that logic?

              Oh look, it’s almost as if they avoided blowing up the hospital and instead entered Gaza with boots on the ground to shoot or capture the terrorists instead.
