Or are we playing this game where it's technically true when he said that the hospital hadn't been used for military purposes even though he had explicitly seen Hamas bring in injured Israeli hostages?

Attacking hospitals is prohibited under international humanitarian law. That protection is only lifted under strict circumstances, and even then there are rules to safeguard patients and staff:

The hostages being there a month prior to the raid is not a valid justification to attack a hospital. Israel has not provided convincing evidence that the hospital was operating beyond their humanitarian duties.
