Geolocation Notes

Reports of the incident mention the neighbourhood of Al Zaytoun (الزيتون) to the south of Gaza city (غزة). Due to limited satellite imagery and information available to Airwars, we were unable to verify the location further. The generic coordinates for Al Zaytoun are: 31.485479, 34.444885.

Geolocation Observation: Yellow Line

The coordinates provided by Airwars are outside the boundaries of the 'Yellow Line' officially published by the Israeli military on October 14, 2025. Although the boundaries of the Yellow Line are contested and have been subject to subsequent changes by the Israeli military, Airwars applies the initial boundaries declared on 14 October 2025 for analytical consistency.
