During Israels assault on Gaza last summer, the military used a strategy designed to kill medical personnel. I believe that is a violation of international law. The military would bomb a building . . . wait a few minutes . . . and then bomb the same building again. The Red Crescent described the “double tap” practice as one of the central factors behind the deaths and injuries of their medical teams. A total of 23 medical personnel, 16 of them on duty, were killed during the war; another 83 were wounded. According to the team of experts, 45 ambulances were damaged by army attacks, including an ambulance station, 17 hospitals and 56 clinics that were entirely destroyed or damaged. And all that was after the UN transmitted to Israel the precise coordinates of every medical facility in the Gaza Strip.
