He added he planned to hold a call with Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu this week to tell him “to not overdo it,” though for “historical reasons,” Germany would always be more guarded in its criticism than some European partners.

If you mean Al-Ahli hospital it was certainly the first where there was a lot of people killed at a hospital in October 2023. It was followed by the Al-Shifa hospital raid in November 2023 where after the IDF left hundreds of bodies were found in mass graves, including medics who had gunshot wounds and their hands tied, indicating a massacre. The same hospital was then raided again with even more people found likely massacred there in March/April 2024. Since then it seems that mass destruction and murder at hospitals was just shrugged away as business as usual by most western politicians and media outlets.
