  • πŸ’₯ The strike involved two consecutive hits on the same location, with the second, more deadly strike occurring after civil defense teams and journalists arrived.

Journalists and Responders Targeted

  • πŸš‘ Emergency workers in orange vests were also among the casualties, indicating a potential deliberate targeting of rescue personnel.

Allegations of War Crimes

  • πŸ₯ The attack on a hospital is described as the first layer of a war crime, contrasting with previous Israeli claims about errant strikes.

Broader Implications and Funding
