The Israeli military did not immediately respond to questions as to whether its forces had conducted a “double tap” strike, meaning two strikes targeting the same location to kill the rescuers sent for the first. But that's what it did at the hospital. https://t.co/51CXkjvtcO
A hedged apology: Regarding its double-tap strike on a Gaza hospital, the Israeli military regretted “any harm to uninvolved individuals," but the Israeli president had already said there are no uninvolved civilians in Gaza. https://t.co/lJJZEvpioO
Israeli military forces carried out two coordinated strikes on the Nasser Medical Complex in Gaza, targeting journalists and medical workers. According to Israeli media and soldiers, the attacks were approved by senior military command. The first strike hit a camera believed to be used to track Israeli troops, while the second strike targeted rescuers responding to the initial attack. The Israeli military expressed regret over the harm caused to uninvolved individuals but did not deny conducting a "double tap" strike, a tactic involving two consecutive attacks on the same location to target rescuers. Footage from journalists at the hospital captured moments before and during the second strike, confirming awareness of the journalists' presence by Israeli forces. The Israeli president previously stated there are no uninvolved civilians in Gaza, adding context to the military's stance on civilian casualties.
