On 16 May 2024, multiple local news outlets cited the Gaza General Directorate of Civil Defense in reporting that an individual at the home of the “Al-Wahidi” family in the Al-Houja (Al-Hawja) area of Jabalia Refugee Camp in North Gaza was rescued by a civil defense fire crew after being hit by alleged Israeli artillery fire. All sources identified the belligerent as being the Israeli military.
A video of the incident shows the individual being carried on a stretcher, indicating that he was injured and was being brought for medical attention. None of the sources reporting on this incident provided a name for the individual.
According to the sources, the civil defense fire crew also extinguished a fire in the home of the Al-Wahidi family.
As all of the sources provided the same information from one original source, this incident has been graded as a “single source claim” and “weak” until additional information is found.
