Russian double-tap strikes hit civilians then rescuers too
Recent reports have emerged of Russian airstrikes in Syria employing a tactic known as the “double-tap” strike, where civilians are first targeted and then rescuers who come to their aid are also attacked.
This cruel tactic has resulted in many innocent lives being lost, including those of humanitarian workers and medical personnel who were simply trying to help those in need.
The international community has condemned these actions as war crimes, calling for an immediate end to such brutal tactics and for those responsible to be held accountable.
As the conflict in Syria continues to escalate, it is crucial for all parties involved to prioritize the protection of civilians and to uphold international humanitarian law.
