On Thursday November 2nd, 2023, a 64-year-old woman named Marwa Muhammad Hassan Sharab (Al-Husseini) was reportedly killed and between six and 11 others, including at least two children, were injured as a result of an alleged Israeli bombing of the Sharab family’s house in Diwan Al-Farra, near the Al-Zeitoun Market, in central Khan Younis, Gaza Strip.

Many local sources, including Hashem Sharab, Rehan Hazem and Basema Alfara reported on the incident and identified Marwa Muhammad Hassan Sharab as the citizen who was killed. Lili Sharab included a video and images of the destroyed building.

Hashem Sharab post also stated that there were “6 injuries from the vicinity of the house, and a state of panic in Diwan al-Farra due to the presence of displaced people there”. A since-deleted post from “The besieged truth” reported that in addition to the one death, 11 people were injured in the Sharab family home. @swilkinsonbc tweeted a video of the 6 injured people from the Sharab family being brought into hospital and @quds_feed tweeted images of the casualties arriving. Two of the pictured victims were children and one was a man.

Airwars has matched Marwa’s name with the Palestinian Ministry of Health list of victims released July 24, 2024.

Where sources mentioned a belligerent, all sources attributed the strike to the Israeli forces.
