    From the title, you’d think these men were armed and inside the hospital terrorizing people. Turns out one of them was getting treatment there. The Israeli forces that killed those three (who were getting treatment or visiting someone getting treatment) were also dressed as civilians (nurses and doctors)

    Truly the most pathetic and most cowardly army in the world.

    Hamas claimed one of the dead in Ibn Sina hospital as its member. The allied faction Islamic Jihad claimed the other two, saying they were brothers. Ibn Sina said one of the brothers had been receiving treatment for an injury that paralysed his legs.

    No trial, no evidence except that from the Israeli side, just a field execution. No threat from these men whatsoever… and one of them was had a mobility disability too.

      Pretty sure killing wounded combatants who have no means of resistance is a war crime. It’s even worse since it happened inside a hospital which should be shield from any fighting. Most moral army is acting as a bunch of war criminals as usual.

        They were unarmed and getting treatment at the hospital. That’s against international humanitarian law. Several people have linked to this in the thread. I suggest you read them.

            Why do you keep mentioning October 7th? We’re talking about something else and October 7th is not a license to break IHL.

            And no, you are wrong, they are not a legitimate target when unarmed and being treated at a hospital.

                Yeah, well, too bad that the Geneva Convention disagrees with killing people in hospitals that have protected status under IHL.

                If “they broke international law first, so it’s now fine for me to” is a legitimate justification as you say, then Isreals decades of international law violations would make Oct 7th fully legitimate too.
