Airwars Assessment
On Saturday, October 7th 2023, a young man was killed in an alleged Israeli airstrike south of Gaza city.
The Palestinian Center for Human Rights (PCHR) identified him as Amir Abdullah (Mohammad) al-Khor, aged 19, further noting that he was just passing by the area when he was killed in the bombing. A relative of the victim, Osama al-Khor, shared a tribute on social media, saying “And give good news to the patient ones who, when a calamity befalls them, say, ‘Indeed we belong to God and to Him we shall return.’ May God have mercy on you, Amir.” Sabra Martyrs Organisation expressed sympathy for the victim’s family, saying it “extends its deepest condolences” to the al-Khor family for the death of their son Amir Abdullah al-Khor.
Where possible, the names of the victims have been matched with the Palestinian Ministry of Health (MoH) lists, which include national ID numbers. Since October 26, 2023, the MoH has released eight lists, along with an additional list of medical professionals, which was released on September 17, 2024. Airwars is matching individuals to the first list where their name appeared. In regard to this incident, the victim’s name was matched to the seventh “Palestinian Ministry of Health List of Fatalities in Gaza”, which was released on October 23, 2024.
Only one source, PCRH, identified the belligerent, attributing the strike to Israeli forces.
The incident occurred at approximately 11:00 am local time.
