This is literally true.

Specific protection of medical establishments and units (including hospitals) is the general rule under IHL. Therefore, specific protection to which hospitals are entitled shall not cease unless they are used by a party to the conflict to commit, outside their humanitarian functions, an "act harmful to the enemy". In case of doubt as to whether medical units of establishments are used to commit an "act harmful to the enemy", they should be presumed not to be so used.

Emphasis mine.

Proportionality is another factor you're ignoring.

They're also still required to attempt to limit targeting to avoid civilian casualties and yet they don't

[-] galloog1@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

They do limit targeting. How many strikes are you seeing in the south as compared to the north? That's a limitation and shows proportionality. You folks may not like it but this is categorically not a war crime.

It has to be applied per individual attack, not per region

[-] galloog1@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Correct which is why your entire narrative is false because they never told civilians to go to a specific place. Dig into it. This is exactly what I mean when I call this stuff propaganda. It's stretching the truth and inviting you to draw your own conclusions from warped facts.

I will put it quite simply. You cannot provide an example where the IDF told Gaza civilians to go to a specific place, only places where they should not go.

Your sources literally don't show where they told them to go, only to leave Gaza City and head south. Try again and this time actually read your sources for literally any point at which they gave specific guidance.

[-] Natanael@slrpnk.net 1 points 1 year ago

Ok a map is apparently not specific guidance enough for you, and therefore nobody can be held liable for killing civilians using a route they were told to use according to your logic. How did you end up this broken?

[-] galloog1@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Ah, the site didn't load for me. The issue here is that of time. You are showing guidance from the beginning of the conflict and no further guidance after our included in the row. That location was not the end of movement. It's selective information you are being shown and a great example of deceptive imagery.

There should be no civilians left in Gaza City right now unless they are choosing to ignore the guidance wholesale or they run the risk of Hamas using them as shields which we absolutely have seen.

This is inhumane nonsense
