Airwars assessment

Shortly before 14:15 on Monday, November 6th, 2023, two civilians were reportedly killed in what most sources described as an “attack” in the Al-Assar house located behind the Martyrs’ Mosque in the Nuseirat camp, in the region of Deir Al Balah, the Gaza Strip.

Thirteen different sources reported on the incident, but so far, the two victims remained unidentified. As most of the reporting appeared circular, Airwars has graded this as a single source claim until further information comes to light – with the language used by sources implying attribution of harm to Israeli forces.

The harm status has been assessed as ‘fair’ given that some reports provided additional information as to the location.

The incident occured at approximately 2:15 pm local time.
