    At the same time, he urged Israel to exercise maximum restraint, stressing the obligation under international humanitarian law to protect hospitals, medical supplies and civilians inside hospitals.

    “These hostilities are severely impacting hospitals and taking a horrific toll on civilians and medical staff,” Borrell warned.

    “Hospitals must … be supplied immediately with the most urgent medical supplies, and patients that require urgent medical care need to be evacuated safely,” he added. “In this context, we urge Israel to exercise maximum restraint to ensure the protection of civilians.”

          He said they were in violation of international law by attacking hospitals.

          Which is probably a wrong interpretation of international law. Since hospitals are used for military operations, their protected status vanishes.
