Legitimate targets?

When claims are made that the Israelis are deliberately targeting the UN and The Red Cross, I - like most reasonable people - find that very hard to believe.

However, when I come across pictures like this, where the Red Cross logo itself appears to have been lined up the crosshairs, it is time to consider this as a serious possibility.

And I have heard the argument that, during certain disputes, rebels have used ambulances to transport militias.

If they have done so, then they should be condemned and tried after any dispute is over for war crimes. However, that cannot be used as a justification for any country's military to start targeting ambulances.

And that does appear to be the implication of where this particular rocket struck.
