A 15-year-old Palestinian boy, Mohammad Abdul Zinati, was killed in northern Gaza City after approaching a wounded man following an initial Israeli strike, according to witnesses cited by The Guardian. Witnesses said an Israeli drone launched a second strike as civilians gathered to help the injured man, identified as paramedic Sharif Shadi Labad. Weapons experts who reviewed verified footage said the incident appeared consistent with a “double-tap” pattern and suggested the teenager may have been visible to the drone. The Israeli military said Labad was a Hamas militant and acknowledged that an uninvolved person was harmed. It said the incident was under review.
