Since October 2023, the Israeli war belligerent has systematically claimed that hospitals were used by Hamas, supported by material produced with assets grabbed from the internet and by using artificial intelligence. No authentic evidence has ever been provided. Therefore, the following:
International law unequivocally states that the deliberate destruction of hospitals and clinics is a serious violation of international humanitarian law (IHL) and constitutes a war crime. Medical facilities are specially protected civilian objects under the Geneva Conventions and their Additional Protocols.
- When acts and or activities by the Israeli war belligerent targeting the colonized people in Gaza are systematic, and or are on a large scale, we consider these acts and activities as shown in the 'breadcrumbs'. This does not include violations, which refer to breaches of rules and international law.
