Around 1:00 AM on Monday, October 23, 2023, at least one civilian was killed and a number of others were injured in an alleged Israeli airstrike on the Muhanna family home located on Al-Oyoun Street near the Al-Jisr area in the Sheikh Radwan neighbourhood, west of Gaza City. The names of the casualties are currently unknown.

That day, Shehab Agency tweeted “[Israeli military] aircraft targeted a house for the Muhanna family near the Al-Jisr area in the Sheikh Radwan neighborhood, and a martyr was recovered and a number of injuries were reported.” On Telegram, @hamza20300 wrote “#Urgent| Martyrs and wounded when [Israeli] warplanes bombed two houses belonging to the Muhanna and Abdel-Al family on Al-Oyoun Street near “Al-Jisr” west of Gaza City.”

On Facebook, the Palestinian Civil Defense shared photos of the destroyed Muhanna family home. In these images, uniformed Palestinian Civil Defense members used flashlights to search through crushed slabs of concrete, rebar, and scattered personal belongings. There were no more details on those killed or injured.

Where sources identified the belligerent, all sources attributed the strikes to Israeli forces.
