Thirteen civilians were injured by bullets allegedly fired from an Israeli quadcopter drone (or drones) at the al-Fawqa school, located next to the Abu Rashid pool of Jabalia Refugee Camp in North Gaza, on the morning of Monday 14th October 2024.

The Gaza-based Palestinian Press Agency (SAFA), along with numerous other sources, reported that 13 people had been injured in the incident, citing the Civil Defense.

SAFA also noted that those injured included displaced people sheltering in al-Fawqa school.

Further sources, including Palestine Online, writing on Twitter/X, reported that those injured were transported to the Kamal Adwan hospital in Beith Lahia for treatment, also citing the Civil Defense.

This incident has been graded as a “single source claim” and “weak” due to the repetition of one initial source, the Civil Defense.
