That is a good question, which is why I made my "terms and conditions apply" reference.
Like we saw in Gaza, hospitals and public infrastructure was targeted with enthusiasm.
The get out of jail free card is justifying that civilian infrastructure is being used for military purposes, or to conceal military targets.
When the IDF bombed the university, the justification was that they were running programmes to further ballistic missile/drone development.
All that is needed is suitable "intelligence" to justify the action, thereafter it is finger-pointing, and we know which way the average X user likes to point fingers these days.
