Whether or not Hamas or Hamas' resources/equipment was in the Al Shifa Hospital, this raid can disrupt the administration of medical care to those in the hospital, who could be seriously injured or even die as a result of such an interruption to the care given at this hospital and other important civilian facilities in Gaza. I would like to remind the reader that Gaza is not fighting Israel, Hamas is fighting Israel. And yes, I understand that Hamas uses Gaza, the people in Gaza, and the civilian infrastructure in Gaza as a sort of meat shield against Israel, but a meat shield only works because you shoot at the meat shield, not the people using the meat shield. The fact that there is, in fact, a person you are aiming at behind a meat shield is not a justification to try to shoot through the meat shield. If one keeps shooting at the meat shield after it has been established that it is a meat shield, at some point, one will no longer be considered to be fighting the person behind the meat shield, but will be considered to be attacking the meat shield itself.

It appears that the IDF has entered the hospital without engaging in a firefight. Their goal is to take over Hamas military HQ in the hospital.
No one, not even Arab media is disputing that Hamas HQ is in the hospital.
