Your conclusion doesn't follow from your state premise. Intentionally bombing specific coordinates, (or probably shelling and strafing rather then bombing since it was an AC-130) doesn't imply intentionally attacking a hospital. There are all sorts of ways to screw up, esp. if you don't carefully follow procedures (or in situations where the right procedures aren't even put in place in the first place).

Screw up seems far more likely then war crime here. The later isn't impossible, but seems unlikely for multiple reasons, starting with motive and going on from there. Doesn't seem like there would be anything to gain, while there would be a loss, even if those "committing the war crime" thought they could "pass it off as" and accident or screw up (and much worse result if it was later proven to be a war crime).
