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 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.
Only one source, PCRH, identified the belligerent – attributing the strike to Israeli forces.
The incident occurred at approximately 11:00 am local time.
