Hunting the Wounded: Double-Tap Strikes on Healthcare Facilities

This report investigates a variation of a standard double-tap strike. In these types of attacks, Syrian government and allied forces struck an initial location, causing casualties who were transported to a nearby hospital. Syrian government and allied forces then struck the hospital to which those injured in the initial attack were brought, maximizing damage to the wounded as well as medical personnel and facilities.
