How long will the world continue to tolerate Israel's egregious war crimes?

A double tap attack is a deliberate tactic designed to kill first responders who rush to a scene after a bombing.

Assad in Syria used this tactic to target the White Helmet rescuers who would attend the scene after air attacks.

Now Israel is using the same tactic against innocent Lebanese medics.

If you are as ignorant as me:

"A double tap, or double-tap, is the practice of following a strike [...] with a deliberately timed second strike in the same place several minutes later, usually in an attempt to maximize the casualties of an attack."

"Double-tap strikes have been used by Saudi Arabia during its military intervention in Yemen, by the United States in Pakistan, Yemen, and the Gulf of Mexico, by Israel in the 2014 Gaza War, the Gaza war (2023-present), and the 2026 Lebanon war. by Russia and the Ba'athist Syria in the Syrian civil war, and by Russia in the Russo-Ukrainian War, especially since the full-scale invasion in 2022."

Every time I post something like this I get downvoted, but I don't care: Israel is just pure evil. Shame on US politicians for giving them cover for the countless war crimes they've committed.
