Israeli military personnel, disguised as medical staff, raided a West Bank hospital and killed three Palestinian men, including a Hamas leader, sparking concerns of potential war crimes. The raid likely violated laws of war, including the prohibition against perfidy. The International Criminal Court has jurisdiction over potential crimes committed at the hospital, and an independent investigation is urgently needed to establish the facts of the situation.
