They are standing there in outrage babbling incoherently about how they were just sitting there minding their own business when all of a sudden POW!
Somewhere else I read that HAMAS had some kind of operation going on in the same building.
Of course people seem to think that orphanages, churches and hospitals are not legal targets and as such they are not. However they can lose their protected status by getting involved in any type of active military activity. They HAVE to stay neutral.
People try and hide behind a status like that but cry blue bloody murder the second they get hit after breaking the rules.
A simplifided example of this is a sniper in a church bell tower. The sniper is not given impunity because he is in a church. The opposing force does not have to take casualties because the sniper ins in a church. The opposing force is 100% justified in letting a tank blast the bell tower.
The reason Notra Dame cathedral is still standing is because the Germans respected it enough not to use it for military purposes. You can bet that if, for example, they stored ammunition or arms in it the Allies would have bombed it flat in a heartbeat.
