Oddly enough, I believe this Palestinian report. Even the casualty totals are likely to be correct.
What they left out is that Hamas was using the hospital as a base of operations and had launched rockets from nearby.
Yes, that will get a lot of civilians killed. Too bad for them.
And according to the so-called "laws of war", hospitals lose their protected status when used as military bases.
Indeed. Not that hamas is a signatory to the Geneva Convention, but this notion of using a civilian hospital as a military base from which to launch attacks, renders that hospital a fair military target.
"Article 19
The protection to which civilian hospitals are entitled shall not cease unless they are used to commit, outside their humanitarian duties, acts harmful to the enemy. "

Further...
"Rule 28.
Medical Units
Rule 28. Medical units exclusively assigned to medical purposes must be respected and protected in all circumstances. They lose their protection if they are being used, outside their humanitarian function, to commit acts harmful to the enemy."

And yet again I must revise an opinion.
There seems to be a video of the bombing.

It rather clearly shows a rocket launch from inside Gaza that comes down at the hospital.
The proffered explanation is that it was a Hamas rocket launch that misfired and came down way short. That could be true.
It sucks to be a resident of Gaza right now.
