Right. I guess it makes sense not to return them to a non functional hospital. I'd just like to think that if you shut down a hospital that you are then able to provide the displaced occupants with the care they need or at least another place to go.

My main issue is with the scale of it. For me, 3 AKs, a couple of rockets and a box of grenades is not what constitutes a "large weapons cache". Nor does having those items and a bit of rope on the basement constitute "turning the hospital into a terror base". Wasn't the hospital above legit? Sure, it's a cancer that needs to be cut out, but this is equivalent to killing the cancer patient and making their whole town homeless.

If a bomb making terrorist were found in an apartment building, you would clear out all the paraphernalia and the bomb maker from their apartment. You wouldn't then make the apartment block uninhabitable and turf out all the other residents to fend for themselves. At least I'd hope you wouldn't.
