Airwars Assessment
During the evening of November 1, 2023, siblings Muhammed, Abdullah, and Yahya were killed by an alleged Israeli bombing in the Al Satar Al Gharbi area in Khan Younis.
At 18:07, the Palestinian Press Agency (SafaPs) reported the three killed in the bombing of a donkey-drawn cart during a raid on Khan Younis.
Various other independent posts re-confirmed this casualty count on the same night, @Palestine_graph on Twitter/X stating, “3 martyrs as a result of the [Israeli] aircraft bombing a vehicle drawn by an animal in the Al-Satar Al-Gharbi area in Khan Yunis.” The siblings’ cousin additionally confirmed the death of the three in a Facebook post, “My aunt’s sons, Muhammad, Abdullah, and Yahya rose in the bombing of a vehicle (wooden cart pulled by a donkey)”. It is unclear if Muhammad, Abdullah, and Yahya were children or adults and their family name was not published by any of the sources. This assessment will be updated if more information emerges.
Where sources identified the belligerent, all sources attributed the strike to the Israeli Military.
