Can Israel target Hamas fighters inside a Hospital or is it a war crime? Under the laws of war, targeting a hospital is a war crime, however, conducting military operations inside of a hospital is also a war crime. So, within the Israel-Gaza context, when can Israel target fighters hiding in or beneath a hospital? We asked an expert on the laws of war and war crimes to weigh in on this difficult question.
Professor Michael Newton (Vanderbilt Law School) is an expert on the laws of war and helped to negotiate the war crimes definitions for the International Criminal Court.
