If you are as ignorant as me: "A double tap, or double-tap, is the practice of following a strike [...] with a deliberately timed second strike in the same place several minutes later, usually in an attempt to maximize the casualties of an attack." "Double-tap strikes have been used by Saudi Arabia during its military intervention in Yemen, by the United States in Pakistan, Yemen, and the Gulf of Mexico, by Israel in the 2014 Gaza War, the Gaza war (2023-present), and the 2026 Lebanon war. by Russia and the Ba'athist Syria in the Syrian civil war, and by Russia in the Russo-Ukrainian War, especially since the full-scale invasion in 2022." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_tap_strike https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_tap_strike

  Yes, and the entire chain of command that did so should be prosecuted for murder.

The importance of the “double tap” was expounded by Columbus in Zombieland as Rule #2 to survive the apocalypse. https://zombieland.fandom.com/wiki/Zombieland_Rules https://zombieland.fandom.com/wiki/Zombieland_Rules

The recent bombing of the bridge in Iran was apparently a double-tap strike by the US. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_Karaj_B1_bridge_attack https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_Karaj_B1_bridge_attack
