It's probably worth mentioning that the evidence you are quoting has been collected and released by the IDF, so it's probably worth waiting for further confirmation.

Also, I don't think the argument 'what's to gain from bombing a hospital?' applies in this conflict. Both sides have already done a number of baffling things that don't help peace. Hamas knew exactly what their attack last week would lead to. Israel bombed a UN run school just yesterday.

PMQs is quite a tough watch as everybody takes the position that this conflict began when Hamas attacked last weekend. 30+ Palestinian children have been killed by Israeli forces in the west bank in 2023.

Whatever your take on the hideousness of each attack/crime or proportionality, it needs to be recognised that both sides would claim they are responding to aggression and our job as a country on the outside is to take a balanced pragmatic view which helps the road to peace, not to pick a side and revise history.
