Three Gazan teenage amputees are receiving prosthetic limbs and care at a center in Amman, Jordan, as part of an initiative by Jordan's Restoring Hope Society. Mahmoud Abou Nusair, 15, lost his leg after alleged Israeli fire while looking for firewood in Deir al-Balah on October 31, 2025, during the ongoing Gaza ceasefire. Zuhdi Abou Shanab, 17, lost his entire right leg in a strike on September 8, 2025, that he says killed nine people and injured 28 others. Abdulrahman Rihan lost the use of his legs when his family home in Jabalia was bombed on January 12, 2025. The IDF asserts it only opens fire on threats and strikes structures used by terror operatives, seeking to minimize civilian harm. The article notes that more than 450 Palestinian amputees are being treated, and that Gaza's healthcare system has been decimated after three years of war. The framing relies on emotionally charged personal accounts without procedural sourcing from the IDF on the specific incidents.
