Nov. 14 (UPI) -- Human Rights Watch on Tuesday called on Israel to end attacks on hospitals, which it said should be investigated as war crimes.

The group said that the Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory and the International Criminal Court should investigate Israel's attacks on hospitals, stating that no evidence put forward to support claims that Hamas has used hospitals as bases "would justify depriving hospitals and ambulances of their protected status under international humanitarian law."

"Israel's repeated attacks damaging hospitals and harming healthcare workers, already hard hit by an unlawful blockade, have devastated Gaza's healthcare infrastructure," said. A. Kayum Ahmed, HRW special advisor on the right to health. "The strikes on the hospitals have killed hundreds of people and put many patients at grave risk because they're unable to receive proper medical care."

U.S. President Joe Biden on Monday urged Israel to protect Gaza's main Al-Shifa Hospital amid battles between Israeli forces and Hamas fighters close to the complex in Gaza City in the north of the strip.

1. GEEZ

no evidence put forward to support claims that Hamas has used hospitals as bases "would justify depriving hospitals and ambulances of their protected status under international humanitarian law."

Did anyone else see the video, I think it was ABC News, of the IDF soldier supposedly showing the correspondent "proof" of some kind of Hamas arms bunker, and the correspondent says those are old decrepit AK-47s? The camera pans down to rifles covered in a think coat of rust.

The IDF is desperate, SO DESPERATE, to try and change their optics to the rest of the world, but they just can't stop lying.

2. Mondoweiss was making fun of that

on Twitter.
I saw the interview, it was very awkward and the reporter was pretty much "get me out of here!"

3. The hospital destruction and targeting is a tiny fraction of the overall targeting campaign.

The point is to make civilian life impossible, to kill or soften up a populace in advance of deportation.

4. CNN reporter embedded with IDF

said the destruction in Gaza is unlike anything he's ever seen before and he covered Syria. That's saying a lot. The images coming out show Gaza completely leveled. It's really bad.
