ionelvBBC reports on a double strike by Israel on Monday:
This is common IDF and US practice and is also known as a double-tap strike and is a war crime according to the Geneva Convention of 1949 (regardless of the lawyery weaselling mansplaining that IDF is conducting an extra-territorial operation against a 50,000-strong terrorist organization which they already halved by now and not a full-scale war against a mostly defenseless civilian population of millions which they are also NOT systematically starving slowly).
Monday's attack on Nasser hospital in Khan Younis saw an initial strike kill at least one person, a Reuters cameraman who was operating a live TV feed from a staircase on the side of the hospital building. A second strike in the same location about 10 minutes later hit journalists and rescuers who were attending the scene.
At least 20 people were killed including four health workers and five journalists who worked for international media outlets, including the Associated Press, Reuters, Al Jazeera and Middle East Eye.
