When asked by the interviewed whether he was comfortable with such the tactic of killing terrorists inside a hospital, Bennett responded, "The real question is, am I comfortable with terrorists using hospitals as their haven, because we're fighting terrorists who have no red lines, do not abide by any law, and we're held to double standards. Hamas does whatever it wants and uses children and families as human shields, and then when we have to go target those very terrorists who are using the hospital for refuge, then we're being accused."
With regard to the claims that one of the terrorists might have been treated at the hospital, Bennett replied that to the best of the his knowledge, the terrorists were using the hospital as a refuge, not because they were being treated.

"If Osama bin Laden was in the hospital and his thumb is injured, do you go in a kill him? The answer is yes," Bennett said.
