The reason it's against international law to put a military HQ in a children's hospital, is to protect civilians.
In war, a military HQ is a legitimate target for attack.
A hospital shouldn't be.
The reason that countries don't typically hide military HQs in children's hospitals is because doing that makes the hospital a legitimate target.
That's not Israeli propaganda; that's the Geneva Conventions.
