Israel has provided no credible evidence for that claim used as a pretext to destroy entire hospitals and schools.
Even had that spurious claim been grounded in reality, which it was not, Israel still would have been in violation of international law for BOMBING hospitals, wantonly and deliberately - manually - destroying equipment and depriving Palestinians of medical care.
Imagine - just imagine - being a Palestinian horrifically wounded, needing amputations etc without proper equipment and medicine. It's the height of cruelty to destroy hospitals in a place where you are also killing and maiming civilian every day.
Human shields?? No. And btw under what law are human shields permitted to be slaughtered? Perversion and manipulation of international law to justify killing of civilians and destroy their infrastructure and homes, in aid of ethnic cleansing - that's what it has always amounted to.
