Israeli air strike kills teenager, paramedic in Gaza City
A 15-year-old student and a paramedic were killed in an air strike on Gaza City. The incident has been attributed to a so-called double-tap operation, a tactic involving successive strikes on the same target.

Two people lost their lives in an air strike targeting Gaza City, according to reports from the region. Among the dead was a schoolboy aged 15 who was returning home from classes at the time of the strike, and a paramedic responding to the initial incident.
Double-tap strikes, where a target is struck repeatedly in quick succession, are a controversial tactic often employed to maximize impact. Such operations typically involve an initial strike followed by a second strike minutes later, potentially targeting first responders or those attempting to evacuate casualties from the site.
The incident adds to the mounting toll of civilian casualties in the Gaza Strip. The deaths of the teenager and the emergency worker underscore the challenges faced by civilian populations and rescue personnel operating in conflict zones.
No statement was immediately available regarding the military justification for the strike or investigations into the civilian toll. International humanitarian organizations have previously raised concerns about double-tap tactics and their impact on civilian populations.
