        Even in an active warzone you cannot store military equipment (except medical aid, of course) in a hospital. Also the WD40 cans are IED’s, improvised explosive devices.

          Turns out every US neighborhood is a warzone because they have more than 12 guns and cans of WD40.

            The cans of WD40 are IEDs. Improvised Explosive Devices. They are filled with explosive material.

                  No they’re synthetic oil cans that are one of the best ways to grease things and can as a side be used as a bomb.

                  You don’t take a picture of a vodka bottle and say someone was trying to make moltov cocktails. Likewise, if I raided a bar and took pictures of empty vodka bottles and towels that doesn’t make them or the customers terrorists.

      “… the presence of small arms and ammunition taken from such combatants and not yet handed to the proper service, shall not be considered to be acts harmful to the enemy”.

        Article 19 of the Geneva Convention

        The protection to which civilian hospitals are entitled shall not cease unless they are used to commit, outside their humanitarian duties, acts harmful to the enemy. Protection may, however, cease only after due warning has been given, naming, in all appropriate cases, a reasonable time limit, and after such warning has remained unheeded.

        The fact that sick or wounded members of the armed forces are nursed in these hospitals, or the presence of small arms and ammunition taken from such combatants which have not yet been handed to the proper service, shall not be considered to be acts harmful to the enemy.

        Israel, UN, the EU, Amnesty International all requested that Hamas stops using hospitals to store military equipment. Hamas did not follow the warnings.

          They also specifically refrain from saying it does or did happen, essentially an admonishment for something they might be doing “if you’re using hospitals, stop” don’t read more into it then there is.

          Ed: I’ll put it this way, I’ll make a bet there are weapons inside of Israeli hospitals taking care of IDF personnel, there is specific language in reference to it because it is an absolute necessity in combat care.
