The US conducted 'double-tap' drone strikes — bombing a target, then bombing the rescuers who rushed in to help the wounded — documented evidence
PARTIAL

The Bureau of Investigative Journalism documented numerous cases where US drones struck a target, waited for first responders and rescuers to arrive, then struck the same location again — a tactic known as 'double-tap.' Under international law, deliberately targeting rescuers is a war crime. The strikes killed paramedics, family members, and bystanders trying to help the wounded. Stanford/NYU Law School report found that drone strikes killed between 474-881 civilians in Pakistan alone, and the double-tap pattern terrorized communities into not helping the wounded.
