Fury in a hospital where a terrorist was being sheltered

...We are talking about a street-car here, not a video game. We are talking about unarmed stabbing victims in their eighties, not gangs of thugs indiscriminately firing lethal rockets. We are talking about mothers and children and infants here, not armed combatants.

Most Israelis do. in fact, know the difference between a hospital
and a nightclub. We also know what connects them: the

About 10 minutes later, the Israelis were on their way out, leaving behind a Palestinian man whom they had fatally shot in the raid and wheeling out his cousin, a wounded patient whom they had come to arrest... Hospital officials were livid. “Hospitals are supposed to be the safest places on earth,” Jihad [sic] Shawar, the hospital director, told the official Voice of Palestine Radio. He said the relatives of the two cousins were “very angry.” Bassem Natshe, the hospital’s public relations director: “They terrorized the hospital, shooting in the department. We are talking about a hospital here, not a nightclub.” ["Israeli Hospital Raid in West Bank Angers Palestinians", New York Times, November 12, 2015]
