Airwars assessment
On October 13th 2023, a young male civilian was killed in a bombing of the Al-Barawi family home located in Beit Lahia, Gaza Strip.
A post on social media from a relative, Wisam Al-Barawi, identified Mohammed Basem Al-Barawi as the civilian killed in the strike on Beit Lahia.
An image of the damaged house showing the collapse of the building was distributed on Facebook. It was also reported by local sources that no warning was provided before the strike.
None of the sources attributed the strike to a belligerent, therefore the strike status and civilian harm grading have been evaluated as contested.

The local time of the incident is unknown.
