Only 500 killed? Still need to kill 1000 more to even the score.

They’re known to be heavily reinforced with concrete and wired with electricity. They’re so deep, as much as 100 feet (30 metres) that it’s hard to say with complete certainty where they’re located.

All peace loving, hard-working, everyday populations dig hardened bunkers and tunnels underneath their cities. Clearly these people are so misunderstood /s

Why? see my post #36

You can bet that Hamas was hiding in the hospital. The IDF knew it.

Why would anyone believe them? This is no different than all the Russia done it reports from Ukraine. In the end it always turns out that Ukraine done it. Anyone who thinks that Hamas is not up to the task of bombing their own hospital to use it to gain support is very gullible.

And even if Israel did do it then it was either and accident or else they had intel that said things are not what are being claimed.

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. (that is, IF this was even a hit by Isreal and not something hamas did intentionally or not)

"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. "
https://www.ohchr.org/en/instruments-mechanisms/instruments/geneva-convention-relative-protection-civilian-persons-time-war

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."

The (hospital) explosion was reported at the same time that heavy rocket barrages were fired from Gaza toward central Israel.

Permanent peace isn’t possible anywhere and war crimes and killing civilians certainly won’t help anyone.

what kind of irresponsible doctors deliberately keep patients hostage in a war zone??

Palestinian doctors. They recognize that a dead palestinian is much more valuable than a live one...
