On Monday, January 20, 2025, at least two civilians reportedly sustained injuries following alleged Israeli gunfire at the Nezarim axis, in the central Gaza Strip.

Multiple news sources on X, including Al Jazeera Egypt, The Palestinian Information Center, and Alelamya News, reported that two individuals were wounded by Israeli gunfire in the Netzarim junction. Facebook posts by Al-Quds Channel and Hamid Al Behari further specified that the injuries were reportedly caused by sniper fire. However, due to the circularity of reporting, where subsequent sources repeated prior information, this incident has been graded as both a “single source claim” and “weak.”

Further information and the identity of the two wounded civilians were not disclosed in any of the sources reporting on the alleged attack.

Where sources identified a belligerent, all sources attributed the shooting to Israeli forces.
