Israeli forces raided Nasser Hospital, the main hospital in the city of Khan Younis in southern Gaza, on Thursday. The Israel Defense Forces said it was conducting an operation to recover the bodies of hostages, while the Gaza Health Ministry accused the IDF of storming the complex “after demolishing the southern wall,” and turning it into a military base.

Before the apologists chime in to defend this atrocious war crime:
Even IF (and that’s a mountain sized if) the IDF aren’t lying about there being dead hostages in the hospital, that absolutely does NOT constitute the kind of harmful acts that would make a hospital a legal military target.
As an aside, killing people to recover the already dead is one of the most perverse shows of disrespect for human lives possible.
Before the hamas apologists chime in perhaps you might consider that the Israeli were not fighting a pitched battle for days to enter this hospital with ghosts.
Hamas again seems to have militarised a hospital (a war crime) and attacking a militarised hospital is in fact not a war crime. Recovering their dead hostages is besides the point.
hamas apologists
This is what you look like when you accuse anyone who dares to contradict the Israeli government narrative of being terrorist sympathizers:
Hamas again seems to have militarised a hospital
According to who, the IDF? Any independent verification or are you just blindly taking the words of known habitual liars?
Recovering their dead hostages is besides the point.
If it’s besides the point, why is it the entirety of the IDF excuse this time?
Are you OK?
A released hostage told The Associated Press last month that she and over two dozen other captives had been held in Nasser Hospital. International law prohibits the targeting of medical facilities; they can lose those protections if they are used for military purposes, though operations against them still must be proportional to any threat.
Hey man, I know it must seem unfair how everyone is bashing Israel all the time and accusing them of genocide. But maybe consider Israeli leadership is openly calling for genocide. Bibi Netanyahu literally held up this map with Palestine completely wiped off. Now don’t tell me they’re only doing all of this as a reaction to October 7th, because this photo was taken two weeks before. We all see the news. They’re leveling Gaza. Don’t gaslight
Do you condemn Israel?
I’d continue chatting but there doesn’t seem much point.
I hope you find some peace.
Sure man. Here’s Washington Post reporting on this fake AI troll factory content
Anyway, back to the subject. Aren’t Israeli officials calling for Gazans to be forced to go to Sinai? Do you condemn the atrocities of Israel?
Edit: Haha, you removed the part where you said this was obviously AI generated. What a tool
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The Israel Defense Forces said it was conducting an operation to recover the bodies of hostages, while the Gaza Health Ministry accused the IDF of storming the complex “after demolishing the southern wall,” and turning it into a military base.
One patient was killed and others were injured when Israeli forces targeted a building within the hospital, the Health Ministry said early Thursday.
“I hear the sound of gunfire, but I don’t know where,” Hazem Bahloul, a physician at Nasser Hospital, told The Post.
In a statement, U.N. Human Rights Office spokesperson Ravina Shamdasani expressed concern over the raid, which she said came after a week-long siege that cut off medical, food and fuel supplies.
“The raid appears to be part of a pattern of attacks by Israeli forces striking essential life-saving civilian infrastructure in Gaza, especially hospitals,” she said, adding that the office has documented similar raids across the Strip that have “serious consequences for the safety” of patients, staff and civilians taking shelter.
A day earlier, the Israeli military, using loudspeakers, instructed displaced people sheltering in the hospital complex to evacuate the premises and relocate to a designated area within the city.
