Terrorist cell embedded itself within civilians around Al-Quds Hospital, fired from the hospital entrance at IDF soldiers, and was subsequently eliminated
Ok, let’s send them to the Hague I guess? Why do you think this is an important point? Hamas isn’t actually a legitimate organization that signed on to international law and would ever care what “legitimate warfare” is. They just went into Israel and murdered a bunch of civilians. If these fighters are caught whether the UN thinks they were wrong is the least of their problems.
And none of that makes Israel attacking a hospital (or just the blatant collective punishment) justified.
Hamas are the legal representative government of palestine mate. For all intents and purposes according to law, this is two countries at war, not a fight against a terror group, but a hostile state
Nah the PLO is the official government of Palestine and is recognized as so by basically everyone, but they are stationed in the West Bank and Israel tries to keep them separated. Hamas has some control over Gaza and held an election decades ago before most of the people there could vote and hasn’t held another one since.

50% of the people alive in Palestine today weren’t born when the last election was held and then elections were shut down.
This is one of the most well known facts about palestine known the world over.

The palestinian authority answers to hamas and the muslim brotherhood. So, yea, hamas, the people that actually got voted in, do run the show.
Except it literally does justify attacking the hospital. Black on white, letter and spirit of the law.

No it doesn’t, and you’re a shitty person for thinking that.
Just because you don’t like something doesn’t make it wrong. They’re right about legitimate targets regarding conflict rules
“Whether it’s ok to bomb a hospital” isn’t a legal question.
We aren’t discussing if “it’s ok”, we are discussing the Rules of Conflict. War is never ok, but war without rules is even worse
“Justified” and “legal” are two separate judgements. OP wants to conflate them to excuse an unjust act.
This is not a matter of personal opinion
