Isn’t combatants dressing as medics considered a war crime? I’m sure holding up in a hospital basically using innocent civilians as cover is as well. This entire situation seems completely fucked by both sides.
Local news here reported they were killed in their hospital beds, so not sure about “holding up”. There’s a video showing a couple lifeless looking people in beds, but who knows what the truth is.
Two were killed sitting in chairs, one was executed in a hospital bed.

I’m definitely finding this war very difficult to determine what is true and what is propaganda.
It’s very difficult if you’re reading mainstream American newspapers because they gloss over israeli war crimes while exaggerating and even lie about things the Palestinian resistance does.
The story remains extremely consistent if you follow pro-Palestinian outlets like Electronic Intifada, MondoWeiss and The Grayzone.

Yes, but as always, it’s okay when Israel does it.
There are more than two “sides”.
Yeah, it’s totally fucked. And there’s a weird part of me that is thinking this is “better”. Israel not bombing indiscriminately and instead using special forces for more precise measure to hit military targets is what people want in some weird way. I can’t tell if this is supposed to be viewed as still terrible or in some way an improvement in the way the war is being waged.
Interesting that the Associated Press didn’t use a still from the actual video of the incident.
3 militants and how many civilians?
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu meanwhile ruled out a military withdrawal from Gaza or the release of thousands of jailed militants — Hamas’ main two demands for any cease-fire — casting doubt on the latest efforts to end a war that has destabilized the broader Middle East.
Netanyahu, speaking at an event elsewhere in the West Bank, denied reports of a possible cease-fire deal to end the war in Gaza and repeated his vow to keep fighting until “absolute victory” over Hamas.
On Tuesday, Hamas’ top political leader Ismail Haniyeh said the group was studying the latest terms for a deal, but that the priority was the “full withdrawal” of Israeli forces from Gaza and that any agreement should lead to a long-term cease-fire.
The U.N. has warned of a further deterioration after several countries froze funding to the main aid provider in Gaza following Israeli claims that a dozen of its workers participated in the Oct. 7 assault.
Gaza’s health care system, which was already feeble before the war, is on the verge of collapse, buckling under the scores of patients, the lack of fuel and medical necessities limited by Israeli restrictions and repeated interruptions from fighting in and near the facilities.
The Palestinian Red Crescent said Israeli forces raided the Al-Amal Hospital in the southern Gaza city of Khan Younis on Tuesday, where about 7,000 displaced people were sheltering.
