This does not offend humanity for some reason: Israel executes patient in hospital

"The Palestinian Center for Human Rights (PCHR) stresses that the Israeli forces' attack on the aforementioned hospital constitutes a flagrant violation of article 18 of the Fourth Geneva Convention relative to the Protection of Civilian Persons in Time of War, which provides, "Civilian hospitals organized to give care to the wounded and sick, the infirm and maternity cases, may in no circumstances be the object of attack, but shall at all times be respected and protected by the Parties to the conflict". Moreover, PCHR highlights that not holding the perpetrators accountable by the international community has made Israel above the law."
