Airwars Assessment
On Tuesday, October 10, 2023, at least two civilians were killed and at least one was injured in an alleged Israeli airstrike on a house in the al-Nasr neighborhood, east of Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip.
Safa news and the Palestinian Information Center reported on the death of the two civilians, and the injury of one other. Jordan News Agency added that “others were injured” without a specific number, and that according to local sources, the house was bombed with “a number of missiles.” Sources did not provide the names or details of any of the victims.
Only one source identified the belligerent as the Israeli military, therefore, Airwars qualified the strike status as a “single source claim”. Since multiple sources reported on civilian harm occurring from the strike, the civilian harm status has been graded as “fair”.
