This is the best summary I could come up with:
An Israeli journalist has shared a letter he says has been signed by dozens of rabbis which states there would be no religious prohibition for Israel's forces to strike a hospital that contained "the enemy."
The missive, posted on Monday on the Telegram channel of prominent media figure Amit Segal, is addressed to Israeli Prime Minister Benyamin Netanyahu and mentions by name the Al-Shifa hospital in Gaza City which is the strip's largest medical complex.
Israel has sent its forces into Hamas-controlled Gaza following weeks of air and artillery strikes and has vowed to wipe out Hamas amid a growing civilian death toll and desperate humanitarian crisis as food, fuel, drinking water and medicine run short.
Israel has said that key Hamas operations are taking place within underground tunnels below Al-Shifa, Gaza's largest hospital, as well as Al-Quds, which has been explicitly ordered several times to evacuate.
But the World Health Organization Director General Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus has said that under international humanitarian law, "healthcare must always be protected," as he urged Israel to rescind its evacuation order against Al-Quds Hospital.
Mads Gilbert, a Norwegian doctor, told the outlet Democracy Now in an article published on Monday that in the 16 years he had worked on and off at Al-Shifa hospital, he had seen no evidence that it was a Hamas command center.
