Airwars assessment
On the night of Monday, 23 October 2023, a number of civilians were killed and at least four civilians, including two children and two young men, were injured, in an alleged Israeli airstrike on the Abu Safiya family home near the Beit Lahia Cemetery in Jabalia refugee camp in Northern Gaza.
“Martyrs” were reported by local sources, including the news account on Twitter/X @PalinfoAr, without specifying the exact number of civilians killed. There were no details on the victims published via open sources.
Injured people were reported as arriving at the Indonesian hospital after the alleged Israeli aircraft bombing. A video shared by the Facebook user Maher al Hijazi showed an ambulance arriving at a hospital and two injured young men walking out of it.
@PalinfoAr tweeted that two injured infants came to the hospital, and posted the picture of one of them. The images of the injured baby wearing unicorn pyjamas with blood on their face being treated were also shared by Twitter/X accounts @Motazpress and @Yemeni_monadel.
Photos shared on social media showed “widespread destruction” including the building being reduced to rubble and search and rescue teams as well as men with flashlights searching for people. A video shared by Al-Jazzeera Palestine and Twitter/X user @Fatma_Kh_ showed rescue efforts in the darkness and a victim being transported on a stretcher.
Where sources identified the belligerents, all sources attributed the strikes to Israeli forces.
The incident occured during the night.
