They have nothing to gain and everything to lose by purposely targeting a hospital.

One important point to make here:
Unless there is proof available, the bolded point is an assumption. I take a skeptical stance towards all claims by either side. So just because Hamas says a location was housing civilians and not insurgents, or just because the IDF tweets that the location they hit had insurgents or missiles, means very little to me absent independent or verifiable proof.
The need for skepticism being the baseline stance has been reinforced many times throughout history, recently and famously by the Iraq war. These days, if you're willing to take any official claim without independent proof, that's just your bias at work.
