      Doesn't matter even if true, still a war crime. You cannot attack or target Persons Hors de Combat. You are never allowed to target injured persons who have laid down arms or are hospitalized, enemy combatant or no.

        I mean, I'm just surprised they didn't bomb the hospital straight out.

        Well, the article says "Gunmen", so I assume they had berettas soddered to their hands a la Guns Akimbo.
