Insufficient evidence for Israel's Gaza hospital attacks raises legal concerns: Analysis

Former Israeli diplomat Alon Pinkas says that even if his country did provide evidence to back up claims that Hamas has used medical facilities for military operations, it would not justify attacking hospitals. “There is a discrepancy between the big headlines … and the failure to come up with the evidence to support this,” he told Al Jazeera, adding that the Israeli military claimed that more than 250 Hamas fighters were arrested at Kamal Adawan Hospital in northern Gaza. “Even if that’s the case, this does not justify rendering the hospital inoperative,” as it happened with several medical facilities in Gaza, he said. Within Israeli society, the siege and military attack waged against Kamal Adwan “is justified because Israel says it’s justified, and no one is pressuring to provide that incriminating evidence”.
