Hospitals and other medical facilities are not protected by the laws of war if they are used for "acts harmful to the enemy". Israel has published videos demonstrating that Hamas has used hospitals, schools and other buildings as command centers and firing positions. https://ihl-databases.icrc.org/en/ihl-treaties/gci-1949/article-21 https://www.nytimes.com/2023/11/17/us/politics/israel-al-shifa-hospital-hamas-evidence.html https://abcnews.go.com/International/live-updates/israel-gaza-hamas-war/israel-claims-to-have-evidence-of-hamas-headquarters-at-hospital-104865076?id=104837945
