Airwars Assessment

Last Updated: December 15, 2024

Safa News reported that one civilian died and seven others were injured after the Abu Amer family home was hit by a likely explosive weapon on October 25th 2023.

No further details were given about the condition of those who were injured, and no identifying factors–including names–were shared.

Although other sources also mention the incident, all posts repeat the information provided by Safa. Safa did not explicitly identify the belligerent and there was little other information found through open source on the incident detailing the likely cause of harm, therefore, Airwars graded this as a “weak” incident and listed both parties as potentially responsible for the harm.
