Well, the second part is true, but they couldn't get there fast enough because the Israelis killed the EMTs too.

I‘m not sure if you interpret more into the words than there is. If you read the articles text thoroughly you’ll find a difference in those deads.

• The dies-articles: „after phone calls“ , „after x days in car“, „days after cry for help“ and others. Those are all after some time.

• The killed-articles: „in a air strike/ rocket attack“ which is immediately.

This sounds quite correct from a grammar point of view. Still, it’s sad for the kids and family.
