Sorry, jimmy boy.

IF a hospital or school is used as a military site, such as to launch or store missiles, IT LOSES IT'S "PROTECTED" STATUS under the Geneva Conventions. THAT IS WHY such use BY HAMAS is a "Grievous Violation" in and of itself, in spite of YOUR approval.

The attacker then has to look at the potential impact of the attack- IF the site continues in use, is the harm that it causes greater than the harm to civilians at the site. It looks like EACH HAMAS ROCKET kills about 15-20 civilians and wounds about 200 when it hits GAZA- So a 15 rocket launcher endangers 225- 400 dead, 3000 to 4000 wounded EACH TIME IT LAUNCHES A SALVO of rockets.
