A report on the American website The Intercept referred to what it considered to be the laws of war, which Israel clearly violated during its raid on a hospital in the West Bank. Disguising Israeli soldiers as medical personnel not only puts real medical personnel at risk; It also indicates that they are guilty of the war crime of treachery.

The Intercept report concluded that Israel is one of the few countries (the United States is another country) that has not ratified the first Additional Protocol to the Geneva Conventions.
