Israel's "double tapping": first bombing the hospital and journalists and then rescue workers in a second strike.

This is a common tactic used by terrorists.

DEIR AL-BALAH, Gaza Strip (AP) — Israel struck one of the main hospitals in the Gaza Strip on Monday and then hit the facility again as journalists and rescue workers rushed to the scene, killing at least 20 people and wounding scores more, local health workers said.

It was among the deadliest of several Israeli strikes that have hit both hospitals and journalists over the course of the 22-month war sparked by Hamas’ Oct. 7, 2023, attack, and the assault came as Israel plans to widen its offensive to heavily populated areas.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office said the strike on Nasser Hospital in the southern city of Khan Younis was a “tragic mishap” and that the military was investigating. [Yeah, a "tragic mishap" that they executed twice in quick succession. Bibi again proves himself to be a murderous liar. ] . . .

The second strike hit an external stairwell as rescuers and journalists raced to the scene of the first, killing another 18. Around 80 people were wounded, including many in the hospital’s courtyard, al-Waheidi said.

Set up a bomb and another on delay to get the first responders. Israel, of course, is doing it on a much more massive scale.
