Here is why those death numbers have always been historically accurate and also how the medical system is not really run by Hamas as explained by the Associated Press

Adding this for pre "BuT HaMAs!?!" clarity.
- Your source does not distinguish between military casualties and civilian ones which is the center of the entire argument. It comes self reported from hospitals and then taken at face value that they were not militants.
  
  BuT HaMaS!
  
  Yep, so instead let's consider everyone to be a militant! That excuses genocide, problem solved!
  
  ahh yes, please tell me about all the women and children being crushed under buildings that we're there working at the behest of HaMaS! Please, like actually tell me, because the burden of proof is on you there.
The IDF is claiming one of the ambulances had Hamas in it. I'm not joking or being sarcastic, that's their official defense for blowing up a bunch of ambulances carrying medical personnel and hospital patients.
Can't wait to hear people explain how Israel is justified because there were Hamas tunnels underground beneath the convoy.
Israel is a despicable rogue state that is backed by the US and it's media.
- Hamas is a despicable terrorist group that is backed by Quatar, its media an the Iran
  
  what do we say out loud next?
  
  Israel pretends to be the victim here.
  
  I'm with you. Israel and Hamas are both terrorist organizations filled with war criminals that need to be brought before the international courts of justice. Bold stance. I like it.
It's like when the school bully is the principal's/sheriff's son. Israel feels it can do whatever it likes, because the West is actively encouraging it. Nobody is going to step in and stop it.
- I mean papa might not be happy that your embarrassing him though
The videos of this are horrific. I've never see so much blood.

There are 10s of 1000s of people taking refuge in and around Al-Shifa.

At this point anyone who says this situation is complicated, that rants about the necessity of this "war", or support Zionism and Israel's state are complicit.
- There is a lot of them,
More genocide from the terrorist Israeli's
Figured the stories about Hamas hiding in ambulances was setting up something. Here we are.
This is the best summary I could come up with:

"The occupation targeted the convoy in more than one location outside the door of al-Shifa Hospital," Ashraf al-Qidra the ministry spokesperson said.

He said the convoy was targeted both at the hospital gate and at Ansar Square a kilometer away.

Hamas-run Al-Aqsa television cited the Health Ministry as saying scores of people were killed and injured.

Earlier on Friday, Qidra said ambulances would send critically injured Palestinians who urgently needed care in Egypt from besieged Gaza City to the south of the enclave.

Israel, which has accused Hamas of concealing command centres and tunnel entrances in al-Shifa hospital, ordered all civilians to leave the north of Gaza last month and its military encircled the area on Thursday.

Hamas and al-Shifa hospital authorities have denied the facility is used as a base by militant fighters.
