On October 12th 2023, at least 15 and up to 25 civilians were killed and at least 25 others were wounded in an alleged Israeli airstrike on the Halawa family home in Al-Hoja Street in the centre of Jabalia camp, located in the Gaza Strip.

The incident was reported on by local Twitter/X and Facebook accounts, with most sources indicating between 14 and 25 deaths from the incident. A news report from Alaraby.com reports on the death of at least 14 civilians, whilst a Twitter/X post from @ShehabAgency recorded 25 deaths. Names of the victims were not found among local sources.

It has also been widely reported that 25 civilians were wounded in the airstrike. A post from the Palestinian Ministry of Interior and National Security corroborated the narrative of the incident, providing images of emergency services handling the aftermath. However, @ShehabAgency and Wattan.net only referred to “dozens” of wounded while other sources only specified “more than 25” wounded. Almasryalyoum.com added that the wounded were taken to the Indonesian Hospital.

Where sources identified the belligerent, all sources attributed the strikes to Israeli forces. Elfagr.org specified that the strike occurred “without warning”.
