It is known that it is against International Law to target hospitals...in any way!
Under international humanitarian law, both schools and hospitals are protected civilian objects, and therefore benefit from the humanitarian principles of distinction and proportionality. Direct physical attacks and the closure of these institutions as a result of direct threats have since 2011 been added as triggers for inclusion on the list of the Secretary-General of parties to conflict committing grave violations against children in armed conflict.

Wrong, that’s not entirely true. If a hospital or school is harboring combatants, being used as a ammo depot or deemed a militarily necessity, you can bomb the # out of them. Same as if you bombed a civilian dwelling that was harboring combatants or if dwelling was sitting on a tunnel, bombs away. There’s supposedly a military command post in a basement hospital, if so, they can bomb it. No war crimes. This has been going on for decades, all countries including US have done it and again, no crime. It may not sit well in public opinion and be a gray area but it’s legal if deemed militarily necessary. Matter of fact it’s possible that the country getting bombed could be charged for using human shields which is also a war crimes. This has already been discussed in one of the other 100’s of threads the OP started on the same subject.
And as I posted above he said/he said, there is no independent investigation that shows hospitals are being used as Hamas fighter bases, rather the hospitals are being reported as struggling to continue to save lives and running out of fuel, not Hamas stealing their fuel.
Why would civilians seek safety at the courtyards of hospitals if Hamas fighters are there?

"What's next? Some link from an Evangelical Christian website?"
What is wrong with Christians expressing their views?
Have you got it in for them too?
Like Hamas does?

s do you really think that a link that doesn't work from the Christian Post citing the IDF is a good and credible source?!

Hamas uses human shields. Hamas uses hospitals to run their terrorist operations out of, and schools to store their munitions at. There can be no 'independent investigation' by the press or by the UN or whoever the heck you want to pick out because there is a war going on and it's not the job of those organizations to do the 'intelligence gathering'. Hamas wouldn't exactly let them in even if they were to show up knocking at the door.
Israel Has Concrete Proof Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City is a Hamas Base of Operations

So you consider AlJazeera to be an independent source?

A time stamp would work just in case I missed something that pertains to what I said? Can you at least do that?

Like Al Jazeera cant stage that?
I will watch a video that is from a different or additional non-biased source.

Millions of people all over the world say not to war and destruction. Human lives matter a lot regardless of where you may come from. When someone supports war and destruction I tend to think there must something wrong going on here.

Yeah I watched it why do you think I asked for a time stamp? I need no verbal explanation from you as to what was said just a time stamp will suffice, can you do that for me?
