Spotter saw binoculars and RPG's at the Palestine. Shot toward the top at an observation deck. We did shoot at the hotel??

Yes, we did. The Palestine Hotel was on a list of forbidden targets, but Rules of Engagement allow for returning fire and firring on observation posts, even in regards to those forbidden targets.

Yes. The Iraqis are using tall buildings as spotter platforms. It's fair game. If you're stupid enough to stay in a tall building during a war, you're a target.
