"idealResponse": "Article 19 states that 'Fixed establishments and mobile medical units of the Medical Service may in no circumstances be attacked, but shall at all times be respected and protected by the Parties to the conflict.' Article 21 clarifies the conditions for discontinuance of protection: 'The protection to which fixed establishments and mobile medical units of the Medical Service are entitled shall not cease unless they are used to commit, outside their humanitarian duties, acts harmful to the enemy. Protection may, however, cease only after a due warning has been given, naming, in all appropriate cases, a reasonable time limit and after such warning has remained unheeded.' Therefore, if the medical unit is indeed being used to commit acts harmful to the enemy (such as sheltering combatants who are firing from within), it could lose its protection. However, this protection can only cease after a due warning has been given, specifying a reasonable time limit for the harmful acts to stop, and that warning has gone unheeded. Simply believing it is being misused is not sufficient; the misuse must be occurring, and the warning procedure must be followed.",
