Airwars assessment
On October 10th 2023, at least four firefighters were reportedly injured by an Israeli airstrike in an industrial zone located in the Gaza Strip whilst extinguishing fires in the area. The firefighters were reportedly extinguishing fires at a cleaning supplies factory.
A Facebook post from the Palestinian Civil Defense reports that the crew experienced various injuries. No further sources provide details on the injured. However, a Twitter post from user @Shebabagency identified injuries to four firefighters, whilst a Twitter post from @PalinfoAr outlined five injuries from the incident. Images and videos posted by local sources show damage to a fire engine.
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.
