If they really carry out war operations from civilian hotels and office buildings, that is a huge war crime. It's telling that the NYT doesn't mention this and I have heard nothing of it in European media.

Pretty sure this is called using human shields. Random hotel guests are now unknowingly sleeping in military command centres.
