Airwars Assessment
During the evening of July 21, 2024, one civilian was killed and at least one other injured in an alleged Israeli bombardment which struck the Musbah area in North Rafah.
On the same day, @ShehabAgency reported on “one martyr and one wounded” as a result of a bombing in the Musbah area. A second source on Facebook, Arab TV, also reported on the attack, attributing it to an Israeli bombardment. @ALforganNews and @AlarbyTV supported the civilian harm claim and attribution to the Israeli military. On June 22, Arab TV posted a video to Facebook, showing at least one injured person from the strike being brought to the hospital, while mentioning “a number of wounded” resulted from the bombardment.
Other independent posts to Facebook and Twitter/X confirmed at least one death and an unspecified number wounded. No further details about the victims of the reported strike were provided.
Where sources identified the belligerent, all sources attributed the strike to the Israeli Military. Sources were conflicted as to whether the bombardment was shelling or an airstrike.
