Airwars assessment
On Wednesday, November 1, 2023, at least 19 civilians were killed and at least 11 were injured in an alleged Israeli airstrike on a five-story house belonging to the Anbar family located near Al-Shaarawi’s barber shop, on al-Hoja Street, in Jabalia Camp, in North Gaza.
Reportedly around 150 people were in the house at the moment of the strike, many of them displaced after an alleged preceeding strike in the vicinity of Block 6 that had destroyed their homes.
Few civilians could be identified by name, however, a family member of the victims Housni Abu al-Nasr reported the death of his neice, Zakia. Housni also reported the his brother, Abu Mishal and his sister-in-law were critically injured.
On November 3, another family member, Ramiz Al-Saqr, in a post on Facebook, prayed for a speedy recovery for his relative, Jihad, and suggested that Jihad’s sons and daughters had been killed. Ramiz Al-Saqr praised God for the safety of Abu Nidal his wife and children, suggesting that Abu Nidal may have survived the incident.
A video posted to Twitter/X by @newsnajah and to Facebook by Alwatan Voice showed a bulldozer positioned at the site, helping to illuminate the pile of ruins while people frantically searched for victims underneath. A photo shared to Facebook by Anas Al Sharif showed the dismembered body of a baby who was killed in the alleged strike.
Photographs and videos taken in the aftermath of the alleged strike showed a crowd of people, including numerous emergency workers, combing through the rubble of the Anbar family home. The building appeared to be completely destroyed, with concrete, rebar and personal belongings strewn about as rescuers navigated the debris with flashlights.
On the evening of November 1, Shehab Agency reported that three killed victims and 11 injured victims had arrived at northern hospitals after the alleged strike on the Anbar family home. While the Palestine News & Info Agency (Wafa) and alquds.co.uk reported “dozens of martyrs and injuries.”
On Facebook, Al-Quds News, Hamza Abu Eltarabesh, Maya Mohammad, and others provided further details on the alleged strike, explaining that “most of those who survived the genocide in the vicinity of Block 6 were all displaced to the Anbar family home.” The posts also claimed that approximately 150 people were present in the house when the alleged strike took place and dozens of people were killed and injured.
The following day, Al Mayadeen News reported an increased number of casualties from the initial figures, stating that “civil defense crews are searching for wounded people under the rubble..while 19 people have been reported killed so far.”
On November 2, Housni Abu al-Nasr described his family’s experiences of loss and displacement in the lead-up to the alleged strike on the previous day, writing that “after our house was completely destroyed and my brother’s daughter’s fetus was martyred, my brother’s family took refuge in the house of our neighbors, Abu Nidal Anbar, along with many other neighbors whose homes were destroyed. The enemy targeted Abu Nidal’s house which was crowded with people, and many were injured and killed. My niece, Zakia, became a martyr. My brother Abu Mishal was seriously injured. My sister-in-law is in a very critical situation.”
According to @YouthGoDigital and @TahrourWail, the home was located “near Al-Shaarawi’s barber shop.” Various sources including the Wafa, alquds.co.uk, and @Paltodaytv attributed the strike to Israeli military aircraft.
A video by Al-Jazeera Palestine showed “the first moments of medical teams dealing with the Israeli bombing of the Anbar family’s home tonight,” with emergency workers unloading numerous wounded people – including at least three children – at the entrance of a hospital.
Ramiz al-Saqr reported that the incident took place without warning.
Where sources identified the belligerent, all sources attributed the strikes to Israeli forces.
The local time of the incident is unknown.
