Airwars Assessment
On Thursday, 19 October, 2023, a number of civilians were reportedly injured in an alleged Israeli airstrike on a civilian house near the Tunis School and a house near the Al-Aidoun Mosque, in the Al-Zaytoun neighborhood south to the Gaza City. The strike was initially reported at 10:34am.
The Shehab Agency, numerous Facebook posts and tweets reported that “there were injuries,” although the number and names of injured were unknown. Similarly, Alaqsa voice said there were “injuries” without specifying their number.
The Shehab Agency noted the strike came from “warplanes” and, therefore, the attack can be considered an airstrike. Further information about the strike is limited.
Only one source, Alaqsa voice, explicitly attributed the strike to the Israeli military. Therefore, Airwars graded this incident’s strike status as single source claim.
