How double-tap strikes have been used to kill journalists and first responders in war zones

Israel killed at least 19 people, including two journalists, in "double-tap" air strikes on Nasser hospital in southern Gaza. This military tactic involves a first strike followed by a second one targeting the same spot after first responders and journalists have gathered. The attack drew international criticism, with Germany expressing shock and the UN condemning the targeting of journalists and hospitals. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called the incident a "tragic mishap," though an Israeli news channel reported the attack was approved by high command. The use of double-tap strikes has also been attributed to other forces, such as Bashar al-Assad’s government during Syria’s civil war.
