If the hospital had been used as a storage base by Hamas, then yeah. Hamas had done that before at another hospital. Under the rules of war, hospitals etc. lose all protection if they are being exploited by combatants.
There was the one hospital that had been bombed. When the IDF came into it, they found the CAT scan machine was unused, because weapons and ammunition had been piled around it. And further such supplies were found in a basement tunnel beneath the hospital. It's an old tactic.
Who "investigates" these claims? Hamas? Like they give casualty statistics?
That was the run-up to taking the hospital. Once they had it, they found all the evidence. But Hamas was using hospitals and putting their tunnels under where people lived. I notice you don't dispute the law of war regarding human shields.

Please can you show proof that Hamas has used hospitals because when these Israeli claims are investigated they have been found to be lied.

Your source for this is the IDF! Even the Zionist media didn't swallow that story. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/nov/17/idf-evidence-so-far-falls-well-short-of-al-shifa-hospital-being-hamas-hq Remember when the IDF first attacked that hospital and tried to blame Hamas and said they would never attack a hospital? It breaches the Geneva convention. Now they blatantly destroy hospitals. Because people like you believe their lies.
