Airwars Assessment
On October 12th 2023, six members of the Abu Arram family, including four children and one woman, were reportedly killed by an alleged Israeli airstrike on their family home in Khan Yunis, located in the Gaza Strip.
Father Mahmoud Dhaif Allah Abu Arram, and his wife, Doaa Ibrahim Abu Jazar and four of their children were listed among the dead. Their children were identified as 6-year-old Hala Mahmoud Abu Arram, 4-year-old Sama Mahmoud Abu Arram and infant son Muhammad Mahmoud Abu Arram.
11-year-old Salah Muhammad Abu Jazar was also killed in the strike, who may have been one of Mahmoud and Doaa’s children – though this was not confirmed by all sources.
Facebook posts from family members and loved ones paid tribute to those killed. Images posted by Zaher Abu Dawoud Jazar showed the funeral for the family.
Where sources identified the belligerent, all sources attributed the strikes to Israeli forces.
