Despite this protection provided by the Four Geneva Conventions of 1949 and the Protocols attached to them of 1977, the Israeli forces made hospitals permissible military targets and attacked them directly and with prohibited weapons However, the Israeli forces made hospitals permissible military targets and attacked them directly and with internationally prohibited weapons, in addition to blockading them by preventing the arrival of the fuel needed to continue their work and refusing to deliver medical supplies and supplies necessary for the lives of people in need of health care. Given the importance of hospitals, the International Criminal Court considered targeting and attacking them tantamount to war crimes. Subject to the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court, the research concluded with a conclusion that included a set of findings and recommendations.
