TYRE, Lebanon April 12 (Reuters) - Wrapped in bloodied bandages, Aline Saeed, seven, barely survived the ​Israeli strike on her home in south Lebanon last week. She was there to bury her father as hopes of ‌a truce spread across the region, but a new strike killed her infant sister and other relatives.

The strike on the Saeed family home in the village of Srifa took place on Wednesday, the first day of a U.S.-Iran ceasefire that many in Lebanon hoped would apply to their country, too. Instead, Israeli strikes killed more than 350 across Lebanon ​and left the Saeed family with four more relatives to bury.

“They said it was a ceasefire. Like all these people, we went ​up to the village. We went to the casket to read the prayers and walk home… suddenly we felt ⁠like a storm was landing right on us,” said Nasser Saeed, Aline’s 64-year-old grandfather, who also survived.

The double tap strike is deliberately employed to murder medical staff and to punish the enemy for showing compasion.

It is paired with the Hannibal Directive, as a proscription to ally and adversary alike to offer no quarter nor to expect it be given.

It is the policy of genocide, imposed by a leadership that can only see victory in terms of annihilation.
