Airwars assessment
At least one civilian, a woman, and potentially a number of other civilians, were reportedly killed and several civilians were injured in an alleged Israeli airstrike that hit a residential apartment in al-Razan Tower, close to the Kamal Adwan Hospital in Northern Gaza, shortly after midnight on Thursday 26th October 2023.
Several sources, including the Palestinian Press Agency (SAFA) and Shehab News Agency, cited the Gazan Interior Ministry which reported that multiple people had been killed and injured in the strike. Sources did not indicate a specific number of either killed or injured civilians.
A number of sources, including the Shehab News Agency, later reported that the body of one woman had been recovered from the apartment block that was hit.
Videos posted on Twitter/X and Facebook, for example by Al Hadath Palestine, showed rescuers and medics approaching the apartment block, the third floor of which had been destroyed by the strike, covering the street below with rubble. The body of a woman reportedly killed in the strike is then carried by ambulance workers out of the apartment block and into an ambulance. The same video then depicts rescuers ascending the stairs of the building, possibly to search for more casualties. Some damage can be seen internally, including a smashed window and twisted concrete in the stairwell.
Where sources identified the belligerent, all sources attributed the strike to Israeli forces.
The incident occured after midnight.
