Israeli troops, disguised as medical personnel, allegedly raided Ibn Sina hospital in the West Bank and shot three Palestinians, including an 18-year-old paralyzed patient, in their hospital beds. The act has been condemned as perfidy, a war crime, by various sources including The Economist, Human Rights Watch, and experts. The incident has raised concerns about violations of international law and the rules of war.
