Airwars assessment
On Friday, June 7th 2024, a number of people were reportedly killed and injured when Israeli forces allegedly entered the Swedish Village, west of the city of Rafah, near the Palestinian-Egyptian Border, in the south of the Gaza Strip.
Although no source identified a number of victims killed, all sources referred to both killed and injured victims in the plural, which in line with Airwars’ methodology has been counted as at least two killed and injured civilians.
A Twitter/X by @YeniSafakArabic reported that the Civil Defence in Gaza had noted “distress calls from injured people detained in the Swedish village,” and that they could not reach them as a result of “an Israeli wild incursion into the area.”
Israeli forces also allegedly shot towards ambulances that were heading to the area according to a post by waelalhalapi on Twitter/X.
Following the incident @ghadirtanbouz80 noted that “bodies were lying on the ground near Tahlia and the entrance to the Swedish Village.”
No sources explicitly identified a cause of death or injury for the victims, though as this was an alleged ground operation, it is likely small arms would have been used.
Only @YeniSafakArabic attributed the attack to the Israeli forces, therefore the strike status for this incident has been graded as “single source claim”.
The local time of the incident is unknown.
