Airwars Assessment
Shortly before 2:44 AM on Sunday, 29 October 2023, a Palestinian photojournalist, New Press correspondent in the northern Gaza Strip, Fadi Al-Wahidi, was slightly injured in his hand by shrapnel from an alleged Israeli bombardment near the Indonesian Hospital located in Beit Lahia in North Gaza.
The Palestinian press agency, Safa, reported the incident saying that Fadi was only slightly injured, while a post on Twitter/X from @RaidKaid1 also described the injury as minor.
Safa attributed the incident to the Israeli military, while the post on Twitter/X by @RaidKaid1 did not mention a specific belligerent. Therefore, Airwars graded the incident as a single source claim.
