For the questions "what does Israel gain from bombing hospitals?" Easy, it scares the hell out of the Palestinians in the hopes of deterring them from supporting Hamas or leaving Gaza. Both outcomes are wins for Israel. Israel also has a pretty easy cover for this "Hamas made us do it because they were hiding among civilians".

I disagree. It doesn't scare them, it emboldens them. When there's no refuge and only anger, the fighting really can only intensify. It's a stupid plan if that's what they're trying to do as all they've done effectively is create more soldiers and more political will against them.
