Is Israel justified in bombing a hosptial?
The war in Gaza erupted afresh on Monday (28th July) as Israel warned of a protracted military campaign to destroy cross-border tunnels and disarm Hamas and other militant groups. As part of this operation, Israel has allegedly bombed civilian hospitals. Israeli military has consistently argued that Hamas uses hospitals in the Gaza Strip to hide weapons and coordinate attacks. source : www.theguardian.com/world/2014/jul/26/gaza-pause-bombing-destruction-seen-israel

Is military action against a civilian hospital justified if they are being used to hide militant fighters?
It is proposed that hospitals should never be targeted by the military
