Airwars Assessment

Last Updated: December 15, 2024

On 10th October 2023, it was reported that two civilians were injured as a result of an alleged Israeli airstrike on the Rafah Crossing in the Gaza Strip.

Three sources corroborated that two government employees were injured, although no detail on the extent of their injuries or their role within the government was provided. Airwars has thus classified this incident as weak but it will be updated if and when more information becomes available.

Shorouk News added that the reports of the injuries came from medical sources however no detail was given on which ones. Shorouk News also highlighted that Rafah is the only land crossing from the Gaza strip not to Israel.

All sources attributed the strikes to Israeli forces.
