    The Israeli military said it was looking into the report.

    Health official Ashraf al-Kidra said 12 shells hit the Al Aqsa hospital in the town of Deir el-Balah. He said the shells landed in the administration building, the intensive care unit and the surgery department.

    Live footage on Hamas’ Al Aqsa TV station showed wounded being moved on gurneys into the emergency department.

    A doctor at the hospital, Fayez Zidane, told the station that shells hit the third and fourth floor as well as the reception area.

    “There is still shelling against the hospital,” he said. He said he found bits of a rocket, presumably from one of the projectiles.

    Zidane appealed to the Red Cross and a nearby hospital to send help.

    The “projectiles” they found are from rockets Hamas launched from there. Look into your basements and be quiet.

    All’s fair in war. maybe not popular, and maybe the anti-Israel voices in the UN, the Arab League, and the White House won’t like it. But Israel can no longer subject itself to the concessions it has already made in order to prod these enemies of morality to accept Israel. It needs to eradicate the weapons that will be used to destroy it. Bomb hospitals, schools, day care centers, and the civilian neighborhoods – anywhere that is given to the manufacture, storage, and use of weapons. Terrorist regimes need to be exterminated.
