JERUSALEM (AP) — The head of surgery at Gaza’s largest and most advanced hospital held up his phone Saturday to the hammering of gunfire and artillery shelling. “Listen,” said Dr. Marwan Abu Sada as fighting raged around Shifa Hospital.

        According to international law they are. If they shoot from a school, Israel has to shoot back. Do they are forcing their hand

          Could you cite that law for me? Because last I checked there is no such law forcing Isreal to shoot back, school or otherwise.

          Intentionally bombing civilians is a war crime. I don’t care how many of your “intended targets” you think you’re getting. If you are bombing civilian centers, like, oh let’s say a hospital for instance, then you are a war criminal, Full stop. There is nothing forcing Isreal to do that.

      So, if Hamas hid in a Israeli hospital would it be justifiable to bomb it?
