The IDF revealed on Friday, what it described as intelligence showing a Hamas command center located under a the Shifa Hospital in Gaza City. In a briefing, Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari told members of the foreign press corps that there are areas in the hospitals that are used by Hamas to direct its military operations.
Even if true, does it justify bombing and killing everyone in that hospital?
That’s the thing
Hamas is awful for putting military installations near civilian infrastructure, and the Israeli military is awful for bombing indiscriminately despite their advanced military tech and resources.
We don’t need to pick one or the other

If only there were some middle ground between “doing nothing” and “leveling the entire building from orbit”. Perhaps something like sending in ground troops who can separate the terrorists from 6yo children.

So send in iserali troops that cam get killed while trying to clear the tunnels and who could also in the heat of battle shoot innocent people ?
What dumb logic is that. You are just introducing more people that can die into the situation.
That’s the cost of claiming to care about innocent life.
Well put.on your fatigues and go raid the hospital big boy. It’s really easy to be concerned about innocent lives when you don’t have to put yours on the line.
I’ll keep the innocent soldiers safe and just bomb hamas
Love how soldiers are always innocent and victims are always terrorists.
I love how you go towards hamas being innocent and soldiers for Isreal bot being innocent.
Let’s face it, you just want more iseralies to get killed
Take precautions and don’t indiscriminately bomb civilian population creating the next generation of people that will fight you.
You know what would keep you from killing civilians?
A ceasefire.

Yes, those ceasefires! The ones that let non-combatants escape, aid to reach the dead and dying, humanitarian efforts to make headway even if only for a short time.

~40k Hamas fighters in Gaza can’t hold the other 99.9% non combatants population hostage. This is an excuse to lump all Palestinians in with the Hamas fighters.
Flour was allowed in to feed the people then one of the only remaining bakeries in Gaza was bombed. What is that but an attempt to starve the people of Gaza. Again maybe 1 in 1000 people is Hamas so 999 people have to starve to cut off Hamas?
How about Westbank, where there is no Hamas. Why are they bombing Palestinians in the Westbank if this is all about Hamas and taking them out?
Plenty of Hamas in the west bank including one of their leaders I know of. They are more popular than Fatah in a lot of places.

What should Hamas do? Put their bases out in the open and announce where they are? They would be blown up within minutes.
Yeah, that’d work for me.
So pragmatism for palestine but israel must be held accountable to the highest standards?? This is why I cannot understand hamas apologists.
By the rules of war? Yes, absolutely. You could even make an argument that the Geneva Convention would encourage the bombing of this hospital as a way to deter future actors from attempting a similar war crime.
