On the afternoon of Tuesday, October 10th, 2023, two Palestinian children were reportedly killed and several more civilians were injured as a result of an alleged strike carried out by the Israeli military on two homes located west of Khan Yunis in the Gaza Strip.

A video by Arab World News Agency shows the damaged homes completely collapsed, and Palestinian citizens undertaking a search and rescue of potentially trapped civilians.

The killing of the two children was reported by local citizen (@sondosmohammad_) on Twitter/X and further corroborated by journalist Journalist Abbas Mazen and by multiple local news outlets such as the Palestinian News Agency and PalinfoAr. Arab World News Agency added that “several other people” were also injured but didn’t specify how many. There were no details on the identity of the victims.

Airwars has graded this incident as “single source claim” due to only one source attributing the bombing to Israeli forces. However, multiple sources reported on the resulting civilian harm, therefore the civilian harm has been graded as “fair”.

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 incident occured in the afternoon.
