Original Note:
Important context: The ICRC fails to mention article 37 of the Geneva Convention, which states that combatants may not feign civilian status. It is not permitted for a hospital to be used by the military for non-hospital, aggressive purposes. https://www.ohchr.org/en/instruments-mechanisms/instruments/protocol-additional-geneva-conventions-12-august-1949-and https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Use_of_human_shields_by_Hamas https://stratcomcoe.org/cuploads/pfiles/hamas_human_shields.pdf
