Quadrouple? Really?
I think this is so deep into war crimes we’re bordering on silly.

In total, the attacks killed four medics and wounded six more, from three different ambulance corps, according to medical sources. Three of the medics were from the Hezbollah-affiliated IHA and Amal-affiliated medical corps, while one was from the Nabatieh emergency services organisation. Under international law, all medics are protected and are considered non-combatants, regardless of political affiliation.
There are a large number people who work as medics, but are Hezbollah fighters as their second job.
Terrorist militias like Hezbollah and Hamas have few full time fighters. Many have civilian job as well. Keep this in mind for journalists as well.
Hamas and Hezbollah are known to use ambulances to transport weapons and combatants. This is an abuse of protected signs (red cross, red crescent) and an outright warcrime.
Consequently attacking an ambulance filled with weapons and combatants is not a war crime under international humanitarian law.
Hezbollah and Hamas love to present any of their fighters, who was a medic or journalist in their other job as innocent victims. It’s excellent propaganda and a well working strategy to get an extra mile out of perfidy and war crimes.
That said. What happened in this case is unclear. It might have been an Israeli war crime.

Go all-in while you’re at it, Zionist: The children are Hamas! The elderly are Hezbollah! The disabled are Houthi! That hospital is full of people, therefore full of terrorists who are guilty, bomb it! Quintuple tap it! The rubble is Hamas, bomb it again!!!

As though they needed to somehow make themselves even more monstrous, this really exemplifies how wretched these fuckers are. Dropping bombs on people, waiting for the medical/rescue people to arrive–bombing them as well–wait for the next wave of medical/rescue personnel to arrive to help recover from both attacks–bomb them again and we’re still not even at the 4th “tap”. The fact they use such a small, antiseptic term like “(insert multiple here)-tap” for something as appallingly vicious just underscores how disgustingly inhumane they are.
Not to mention, that is illegal under international law according to the article:
Of course, if no one enforces the law it really is just a guideline or suggestion. Nobody stopped them at double-tap strikes, look where that’s gotten us. Fucking quadruple-tap. If they ever wanted to reveal that they’re the bad guys, this is basically like a giant fucking neon sign stating as much.
