Aurel Sari discusses a hypothetical attack on a protected hospital

Carrying out a deliberate attack directly against a civilian hospital and protected persons would be an indiscriminate attack that also amounts to a war crime. It cannot be justified.

Aurel Sari's hypothetical legal commentary, published on 19 October 2023 and hosted by the Lieber Institute. The quoted passage belongs to Scenario One, which assumes a deliberate attack on a hospital that is not a military objective; it is not a finding that this scenario occurred. Scenarios Two through Six separately discuss military use, warnings, proportionality, precautions, incidental harm, malfunctioning weapons and interception. In Back to reality the author favors a different account involving a Palestinian rocket; that dated assessment is author opinion, not independently established by this record. ICRC Customary IHL Rule 28 supplies context on protection of medical units, loss of protection for harmful acts outside humanitarian functions, and warning requirements (https://ihl-databases.icrc.org/en/customary-ihl/v1/rule28). This record verifies the published conditional passage only, not incident responsibility, intent, casualties, a war crime or any person's liability. The Institute is the host, Aurel Sari the author; the publisher disclaims endorsement and official US military policy.
