The White House on Tuesday said it had its own intelligence that Hamas was using Gaza's largest hospital Al Shifa to run its military operations, and probably to store weapons, saying those actions constituted a war crime.
That’s not true. That’s not what the article says.
Fatah gunmen began firing mortars and rocket-propelled grenades at Shifa Hospital in Gaza City, drawing Hamas fire from inside the building, killing one Hamas and one Fatah fighter.
According to the article, Fatah was firing on the hospital and Hamas was firing from the hospital.
Aside from third party articles that dispute most if not all of the claims therein specifically the doctors and nurses they reference are a. Not known to be workers there, b. At least one of those doctors was under isreali detention only to be executed later.
If you choose to believe that by all means do but don’t expect everyone else to.
I can’t independently verify if the source is accurate since I wasn’t on the ground in Gaza when this happened. I’m just telling you what the article said. I don’t think it’s a good practice to lie to people about the claims that sources make.
Of course they are running military actions from al-Shifa. They did in 2007, why would they have stopped it?

They also fired all non-Hamas doctors in al-Shifa around 2007 after they won their fight against Fatah.

Neither of those articles say that, and in fact your first article mentions Hamas firing on the hospital, not firing from.
That’s not true. That’s not what the article says.
According to the article, Fatah was firing on the hospital and Hamas was firing from the hospital.
It says both. They fired at hamas, hamas fled to a safe zone and the Fatah fired on the hospital… And hamas returned fire.
Yes, they returned fire from the hospital.
EDIT: the part you quoted doesn’t say who was firing from where.

Fun fact neither was the author, it’s taken from Israeli reports.
You don’t have to believe Israeli reports to accurately interpret what an article says.
