Israel’s military has raided Gaza’s biggest hospital, Al-Shifa, claiming that Hamas had set up an operational command centre in tunnels beneath it. An Israeli army spokesman said that troops uncovered Hamas weapons and combat gear in a hospital building, but made no mention of finding any tunnel entrances. Hamas dismissed its claim as “lies and cheap propaganda”. Hospitals are supposed to be protected by international humanitarian law, so can Israel’s action be justified? In this episode, the ABC’s former Middle East correspondent Ben Knight discusses how the Al-Shifa hospital became a flashpoint in the Israel-Gaza war, and why Israel needs to prove it was being used for military purposes.
