Reply #42: I didn't speculate as to the exact 'fortifications' [View All]

but anyone knows that it's very hard for a force of 2000 hardened fighters to defend a wide front. The facts seem to indicate that hospital was converted into a stronghold/headquarters and something/someone of interest was removed from that hospital. I know that it's hard to believe that Hezbollah would utilize civilian structures for infrastructure...but we'll have to see how it plays out.
Looks like they got back to Israel reasonably safely, at least that's what the initial reports show. Wonder who they 'invited' back with them. Could be interesting.

So my question is, if the hospital was converted into an opposition HQ, is shooting at it still a war crime? It was early in the evening here...things seem to be a bit fluid here, as they say. So back to my original thesis, we'll have to wait and see. This is much more interesting than the obvious.

But it did occur to me that Israel wouldn't just go an shoot up a hospital after all that unless there were a reason...hell, even Hezbollah probably wouldn't do that. There would have to be a military gain. I would think, but then again I'm no expert.
