Airwars Assessment
On October 19th 2023, an unknown number of people were killed and injured by an alleged Israeli airstrike on the Hassouna family home in the Shujaiya neighbourhood.
The Palestinian Ministry of Interior reported on “Martyrs and wounded” resulting from an Israeli airstrike on “a house for the “Hassouna” family in the “Shujaiya neighbourhood”. Other sources quoted the Ministry of Interior without providing additional details. Airwars has graded the civilian harm status as weak due to the repetition of details and circular nature of the reporting, but will update should further information come to light.
According to Al Jazeera, Israeli “aircraft launched a series of raids on citizens’ homes in the Shujaiya neighbourhood, east of Gaza City”.
Alghad news agency stated that Israel launched “a series of violent raids on the Al-Shujaiya neighbourhood, east of Gaza City.”
Where sources identified the belligerent, all sources attributed the strikes to Israeli forces.
