Airwars assessment

On November 3, 2023, an alleged bombardment on the home of the Abdul Ghafour family, located in the town of al-Qarara, in the al-Sarij area, north of Khan Yunis, resulted in five injuries.

Reporting on the incident, Shehab Agency announced that there were injuries. Hani Alshaer and some other local media companies specified five injuries. The names and severity of injuries are unknown. Facebook user “Gaza Days” alleged that the injuries occurred after the home “collapsed”. There were no further details on the victims.

While no sources specified a belligerent, multiple sources referred to the attack as a “bombing” that “targeted” the home of the Abdul Ghafour family, both terms commonly referring to the Israeli military based on their capabilities. Therefore, this incident has been graded as a “likely strike.”

The local time of the incident is unknown.
