Israel intensifies Gaza assault and severs communications across territory

Hamas official Ezzat El-Reshiq, a member of the movement’s political bureau, rebutted the claim and accused Israel of spreading lies as “a prelude to committing a new massacre against our people”.

The IDF has made the claim about Al Shifa and other hospitals before, including in the 2014 conflict. It is not possible to verify details of the latest allegations but there is evidence Hamas has in the past taken advantage of cover provided by civilian objects, including hospitals.

Wasn’t Al Shifa the hospital they said they didn’t bomb?

It’s just crazy. The moral calculus needed to overcome the fact that your enemy is using civilians as human shields just leads you to the conclusion that they are sub-human shields, less precious than the human lives on your side. I fear that same calculus will lead them to operate as if the hostages are already dead, removing that obstacle as well.
