Original Note:
Precise operations like this are not a war crime. While hospitals do enjoy strong protections in a war zone, they aren’t free sanctuary for combatants. The 3 men killed were specifically targeted as known members of a terrorist organization(s). No one else was injured. https://www.icrc.org/en/document/protection-hospitals-during-armed-conflicts-what-law-says https://watchlist.org/publications/what-does-international-law-say-about-attacks-on-schools-and-hospitals/
