The distinction between operations base or caregiving institution is important because attacking a hospital, even during battle, is only acceptable in certain situations:

International law gives hospitals special protections during war. Hospitals can lose those protections if combatants use them to hide fighters or store weapons, according to the International Committee of the Red Cross.

Need more proof that they consciously defied basic human decency? IDF has it for you: Tuesday, they dropped footage of the captured chief of a Gaza hospital admitting that he's also a Hamas commander, that his hospital was used as an operational hub, and that it once housed a kidnapped Israeli soldier.

Critics are pointing out that he is a captive of the Israelis and is not in a position of strength and that his confession could have been coerced. Viewers can decide for themselves, but like the Hamas terrorist who casually admitted to killing little kids, he seems quite calm. He actually seems melancholy about all that's transpired. //

“They left us out in the open while they have gone into hiding,” he said. “The people are the ones who got screwed."

“They sacrificed us, unfortunately,” he said, appearing downcast.

I would have some sympathy for him if it weren't for the nagging question: who exactly did you think these people were? They seem to have no respect for human life or basic dignity, why would they care about your fate?

You signed up for their savagery, so it's hard to feel sorry for you when you belatedly realize they simply don't care.
