A strike then directly hits the emergency workers and reporters, sending smoke and rubble in the air. At least one body is visible in the aftermath.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"A wide shot with tents in the forground and the hospital building covered in smoke\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/fe3c1e13-e10b-4e8a-9a6b-135aaf231001.png.webp.webp\"  width=\"1912\" height=\"1000\" class=\"ssrcss-11yxrdo-Image edrdn950\"\/>Image source, Al Ghad TVImage caption, <\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Al Ghad TV broadcast the moment of the second strike and it&#8217;s immediate aftermath live on air<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">A separate video, filmed from the same staircase, shows the aftermath of the strike.
