Israeli troops have entered Nasser Medical Complex, the hospital in southern Gaza where thousands of displaced Palestinians had been sheltering in recent days, Gaza’s health ministry and the Israeli military said on Thursday.

Ashraf al-Qudra, the health ministry’s spokesman, said in a statement that the Israeli military had demolished the complex’s southern wall and begun storming it. In a second statement, he said Israeli forces were targeting the hospital’s orthopedic department, killing one patient and injuring several others.

The Israeli military said in its own statement on Thursday morning that it was “conducting a precise and limited operation inside Nasser” against Hamas, which it accused of hiding in the hospital among wounded civilians. It said it had intelligence, including from released hostages, that Hamas had held hostages at the hospital and that bodies of hostages could be at the hospital.

        Pretend scenar?

        10 people are brought in on a line up and a witness is asked who was guilty of the murder. The witness identifies 1 of the people as the murderer never having seen the other 9. They gun down all 10 to be sure the murder doesn’t get away.

        Do you think that scenario would be the right thing to do?

          Before I answer, could you give me a hint on how your scenario relates to the raid into this hospital?
