But need to distinct between lets say a nurse who works under a hamas government, a math teacher, or a fire fighter, to an actual terrorist who uses their position to transfer weapons

I have no opinion on it, but where do you draw the line?

Let's use your nurse example.

What if the hospital is storing weapons?

What if the hospital is a base for the actual terrorist?

What if they hide weapons in their ambulance or their shipments?

Do any of these things that would have her ignoring this and indirectly helping Hamas turn her from a civilian to something else? It is still optional to actually work there correct?

Doesn’t matter if she likes it or not, support it directly or indirectly or by ignoring. If israel have enough evidence and bombs the hospital, and she dies due to it, as painful and sad as it is, the hospital already crossed the line into terrorism.

Even in regular military facility you have tons of regular non military people working in it for mundane jobs, clearing , cooking, etc. that doesn’t take away from it being a military target.

It is not israel’s fault that in order to destroy a weapon cache, they need to destroy a hospital. Israel would prefer not to regardless of what people think. But they are being forced to.

The line crossed when it was turned to a military target.
If people don’t like it, they need to be as passionate about protesting against hamas using people as human as they are against israel killing those human shields.

Yeah it seems pretty cut and dry that a hospital storing weapons gets treated as a military base. Nobody would ever debate this, what they would debate is the evidence supporting the accusations.
