'Haniyeh hid in hospital during Gaza op' according to the Jerusalem Post. Where are the so fastidious practitioners of international law who endlessly lecture the USA and Israel about their supposed violation of international law?
It appears that "Haniyeh, as well as other senior Hamas commanders, took over a ward of the hospital and set up a command center for the duration of the operation." That clearly violates international rules of war by using hospital facilities as a shield for military activities. Of course, that should surprise no one. Hamas used schools and mosques as ammo dumps and launch sites for their rockets.
In addition, field commanders took "advantage of the humanitarian corridor and cessation of action that the IDF instituted every day for several hours to enter the hospital and meet with senior Hamas officials to receive instructions." IDF stopped military operations to allow for humanitarian efforts and Hamas took advantage of it to coordinate efforts to kill Israelis.
There will be silence from the international law advocates. They're too busy preening and strutting their moral superiority at American "torture" of Al Qaeda terrorists and Israelis' efforts to defend themselves from Gazan terror attacks.
