The IDF has struck a terrorist position in Gaza's Al Wafa hospital, illustrating the highly sensitive and illegal use of civilian targets as human shields by Hamas and other Gazan terrorist groups.

IDF sources say that the controversial decision to attack the position was taken after several days in which ground forces came under heavy fire from gunmen positioned inside the hospital grounds. The fire reportedly included both light weaponry and heavy anti-tank missiles directed towards IDF armored vehicles.

"The hospital premises were being used as war rooms and command centers by the terrorist groups Hamas and Islamic Jihad," said an IDF spokesperson.

In WWII we would without hesitation have bombed any target the enemy was using—and announced that it was their fault for hiding behind civilians.

I don’t see why the world should consider this any different—and blame Hamas for hiding behind schools and hospitals.

Easy solution: turn the hospital into an instant morgue.

Another easy solution: cut off all power and water to the hospital, if necessary by cutting the lines. When the hospital complains, tell them it will be turned on only after surrender of occupants coming out unarmed, for an inspection. After inspection the hospital mysteriously blows up, blame it on Hamas holdouts.
