Airwars Assessment

Last Updated: December 15, 2024

An alleged bombing by the Israeli military on the house of the Nabhan family located in Bir al-Naja on Sunday, October 22nd 2023, led to injuries among civilians. Safa News reported this incident coupled with three social media posts containing similar information.

Multiple reports describe injuries at the scene, but no other identifying factors have been made available, and the severity or number of injuries is presently unknown. It is unclear whether the injuries sustained were to members of the Nabhan family, or others.

Due to the lack of further information, Airwars has classified this incident as “weak”, and will update the assessment should more information come to light.
