DWOB notified the US of the exact coordinates of their hospital

Which does not amount to any real evidence that - "that the hospital was selected as the target and known to be the target by those ordering and carrying out the attack."

They notify the DoD and/or military officers somewhere in the command chain. That information gets filed. So yes notifiaction (probably) happened. that doesn't mean the people who ordered the attack knew it would be an attack on the hospital or that those carrying out the attack had that knowledge, or that either of them not only knew it was a hospital but that it was an in use hospital not under the control of, and being used to stage attacks by, the Taliban.

The services, the DoD etc. get notified of probably billions of things each year. That doesn't mean that everyone who might need that knowledge to make the appropriate decision will have it when they need it (or even know their own ignorance about the situation, they may instead of false information or beliefs about the target).

An argument can be made that they SHOULD have known, and even that failure to properly convey and check, and follow correct procedures amounts to a culpable offense (not saying that it is or it isn't, all the facts aren't out, and I don't even know all the available information so I can't reasonably judge that case), but even if it is, there is a difference between serious culpable mistakes with horrible results and war crimes.
