Egypt, Qatar, America, and Israel have been asking Hamas for a simple list of hostage names for weeks with no answer. What's with that? It doesn't hurt them to provide a list of names. Is it possible Hamas doesn't even know how many are alive?

Hamas will refuse.
The extraverts had the tables turned on them in 2020 and have been itchy for a captive audience ever since. It's a drug fix for these people, nothing more. I've skipped every cross country in-person team building gibberish since 2020 and will continue to do so.
Regarding Al-Shifa hospital, there is video of Hamas taking some hostages inside, and widespread reporting of Hamas previously using part of the facility for interrogation/torture of civilians. That, in conjunction with the tunnel evidence, makes it a reasonable target for Israel to take control of (i.e. not a war crime). Personally I doubt the tunnel constitutes a command center. A method for discreetly bringing in captives makes more sense.
Yes, if a dog attacks you can shoot it. That's true pretty much everywhere.
Why in the fuck is this considered world news?
Her dissenting opinion is here. It's quite thorough, and while reasonable people could disagree on each point (myself included), I didn't find anything overtly biased in her analysis. Paragraphs 22 - 30 are the bulk of her analysis. Chiefly she cited 3 concerns:
- without Hamas as a party, she didn't see how any order could be complied with without Israel unilaterally withdrawing and being forced to accept subsequent attacks
- most requested orders amounted to "follow IHL", which Israel is already bound to order or no order
- she believes SA is conflating Hamas and Palestinian civilians in several key arguments
No shit they're here on a student visa. This isn't new.
