On October 13th 2023, a male paramedic was injured by alleged Israeli airstrikes while rescuing other injured civilians near the Kuwait roundabout located in the Gaza Strip. Local sources reported that he died of his wounds either on October 14 or October 15.

He was identified by his relatives on social media as volunteer paramedic Ahmad Abdulrahman. His brother-in-law indicated that Ahmad Abdulrahman was married to “Umm Mohammed”.

Several local Tweets and Facebook posts quoted that the Ministry of Health said that Ahmad died on October 15, and Abo Fadi Sawafiri, Ahmad’s colleague, wrote on Facebook that the paramedic died of his injuries, “while trying to evacuate the injured near the old car market.”.

Where sources identified the belligerent, all sources attributed the strikes to Israeli forces.
