And it doesn't actually matter if Hamas was using the hospital, or if it was a base of operations.

There are very clear rules in the geneva convention about how to bomb a hostile hospital. Anything other than that is by definition a war crime. (spoiler: the rules weren't followed).
- Legally speaking I think that’s an oversimplification: https://thehill.com/opinion/healthcare/4289754-what-are-the-laws-of-war-when-a-hospital-is-a-war-zone/
  
  Your article says exactly what I said, in more words.
  
  Instead of "the hill", go read the articles of the geneva convention, they aren't that long and are really clear.
If the IDF sniping a 14 year old girl outside a hospital while trying to get water didn't convince you enough.
The goal is the eradication of the Palestinian people. Fuck Israel.
