Airwars assessment

On Sunday the 8th of October 2023, it was reported that civilians were injured when the Israeli military bombed the Abu al-Jubain family home, in the northern Gaza Strip.

This event was mentioned by multiple sources such as BintAl Assifa, Abul Salam Qamoum, Mohammed al-Yusuf and local news source MSDR News.

Individuals in Gaza @WaellodaOda and @i_07070 confirmed on Twitter/X that the house of the Abu al-Jubain family was bombed by an Israeli airstrike.

Multiple local sources including @ShebabAgency reported that the strike resulted in “casualties” and “injuries” but did not specify how many. Airwars has used the injury range 2-2 to capture these cases, as per our methodology.

Where sources identified the belligerent, all sources attributed the strikes to Israeli forces.

Due to the scale and urgency of Airwars’ assessment process, all images have been automatically uploaded to each assessment with the graphic filter applied to protect users. We have also included all images identified from the sources, which may also include any imagery of combatants.

The local time of the incident is unknown.
