I suppose it depends what "attack" means. If you mean bomb the place and kill everyone inside (including all of the doctors and nurses and support staff), then this should obviously be NO (that's a clear violation of the Geneva convention). However, if you mean capture the troops inside without killing anybody, then probably YES. There are gradations between these two extremes, but I think in the normal usage "attack" means something closer to the first.
