It seems that the best way to stop Israel from bombing hospitals in Gaza would be for Palestinian terrorists to stop using those hospitals as military facilities. And the people whining most about Israel’s strikes are the ones who should know that best.
Israel earlier this week launched a targeted airstrike on a building at Nasser Hospital in Gaza, with Israel claiming that the top target was Muhammad Abu Ismail, a commander in Hamas’ Khan Younis Brigade. According to the Israel Defense Forces, Hamas has “established a presence within the hospital complex and used it as a command center,” and the second floor of the hospital “serves as a Hamas military HQ, where civilians are not permitted to enter,” which was where “dozens of hostages were held captive.”

Abu Ismail, whom Israel identified as one of the hostage keepers after the Oct. 7 terrorist attacks, is not confirmed to be among the dead. But two other Hamas terrorists were also targeted in this strike, and one, Khaled Osama Abu Anza, was killed, according to Palestinian media sources.
This strike was predictably condemned by the “international community,” which has yet to find a single military act by Israel it supports or a single human-shield tactic carried out by Hamas that it condemns. Among those was Doctors Without Borders, which said that it “is appalled and outraged” by the “unconscionable” strike.

Of course, we know that Hamas uses hospitals as military installations. We know this because the IDF found military tunnels underneath Al Shifa Hospital in a November 2023 raid, and arrested around 100 Palestinians, including 20 with ties to the Oct. 7 massacre, and at Nasser Hospital in a February 2024 raid. You know who else knows that Palestinian terrorists use Nasser Hospital for military purposes? Doctors Without Borders, which temporarily suspended operations there after its members observed armed men in several areas of the hospital compound. (The organization, of course, handwaves away this Palestinian war crime by bemoaning that the real issue is that Israel uses it to “justify attacks on health structures.”)
The Palestinian terrorists who started a war because they want to commit genocide against the population of Israel are using hospitals for military operations, and the “international community” can only muster rage at Israel for trying to kill those terrorists. A good way to avoid having your hospitals be the targets of military attacks is not to use them as military installations, but the Palestinians do it on purpose, because they know organizations like the United Nations or Doctors Without Borders will immediately rush to condemn Israel with little to no objections to the real Palestinian war crimes being committed.
