⚡️🚨 ALERT - Double-Tap Israeli Airstrike on Gaza Hospital Kills Five Journalists and rescue workers on live TV. Netanyahu Calls It a ‘Mishap.’
The “double-tap” strike technique is widely regarded as a war crime because it targets first responders, journalists, medics, and rescue workers who are protected under the Geneva Conventions. The attacks aim to deter rescue efforts and inflict further civilian harm. The International Criminal Court considers deliberate strikes on medical or rescue personnel prosecutable war crimes.
Israeli airstrikes hit Nasser Hospital in southern Gaza twice, killing 20 people, including five journalists from Reuters, AP, Al Jazeera, Middle East Eye and NBC. Hussam al-Masri died in the initial strike; Mohammed Salama, Mariam Abu Dagga, Ahmed Abu Aziz, and Moaz Abu Taha were killed when the hospital was hit again in a “double-tap” attack as rescuers gathered to evacuate the wounded. Reuters photographer Hatem Khaled was injured in the second strike.
The Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) now reports at least 196 journalists killed since the war began. (Wikileaks)
