The US is still helping Israel because Israel is effectively the largest US military base in the middle east, and monitors and protects many US interests in the region: ie makes sure the oil, gas, minerals, and rare earth materials keep flowing and in addition the Suez canal and trade route keeps clear to ensure international trade and transfer of these materials continue without any interference - terrorists, local warlords, or even just populist leaders that want better deals for their populace.
In short, Israel assists as an enforcer for capitalist wealth extraction from the middle east to the rest of the world.
As former US army general and secretary of state (under Reagan) and long serving white house chief of staff (under Nixon and Ford) Alexander Haig famously said, “Israel is the largest American aircraft carrier in the world that cannot be sunk, does not carry even one American soldier, and is located in a critical region for American national security”.
So that’s the main reason little kids continue to get bombed and shot in Israel. The US is addicted to oil & middle east resources, and the capitalists don’t care what the human cost is as long as order is maintained.
