A Question of Ethics In War

Your country is at war with another nation. The enemy has placed a command and control bunker under a childrens hospital with 1000 children in it. If you do not take out the bunker your nation is going to suffer at least 1000 KIA and Wounded personal (a number which is based upon the ratio of casualities that your forces have been sustaining from similar weapons systems under the control of said bunker). Do you hit the bunker taking out the children as well or do you refrain from hitting the bunker and sustaining the casulaities?
