minus-square@fubolink1•edit-211 months agoThe reason it’s against international law to put a military HQ in a children’s hospital, is to protect civilians. In war, a military HQ is a legitimate target for attack. A hospital shouldn’t be. The reason that countries don’t typically hide military HQs in children’s hospitals is because doing that makes the hospital a legitimate target. That’s not Israeli propaganda; that’s the Geneva Conventions.
