US approves $2.8 billion weapons shipment to Israel as 15‑year‑old boy killed in Gaza

A 15‑year‑old boy was killed in a double‑tap strike while attempting to rescue a paramedic who had been wounded in the initial explosion, officials said. The incident occurred in a conflict‑affected area where first‑responders are routinely exposed to secondary attacks aimed at those providing emergency aid. According to local authorities, the teenager reached the scene after the first blast and began assisting the paramedic when a second strike struck the location, resulting in his death.

Investigators are reviewing the circumstances surrounding the attack and have urged a thorough examination of the tactics that target medical personnel and civilians. The loss has prompted calls from humanitarian groups for stricter protections for responders and for accountability measures to prevent further civilian casualties in similar operations.
