JERUSALEM (AP) — The head of surgery at Gaza’s largest and most advanced hospital held up his phone Saturday to the hammering of gunfire and artillery shelling. “Listen,” said Dr. Marwan Abu Sada as fighting raged around Shifa Hospital.

    Crazy thought, why don’t we just not bomb hospitals? Anyone?

    Or how to make people hate you more than Hamas, a book by the IDF.

      And if rockets and other weapons really are being fired from hospitals? What do you do then?

        That’s up to them to figure out how to do it with the least amount of civilian casualty then. Moot point anyway considering nothing has come out with overwhelming proof of Hamas using the hospital as cover.

          We already know Hamas is in that hospital and have fired at least one anti-tank rocket out of it.

          There’s also the time Islamic Jihadists fired missiles from right next to a different hospital.

          Hamas has always used civilian infrastructure to attack from, it’s their MO. They want Palestinian civilians to get killed by Israel.
