Airwars assessment
On October 14th 2023, between one and three civilians were reportedly killed and at least one was injured in an alleged Israeli airstrike on the Al Shaf’i family house in Al Nusayrat camp.
There is mixed reporting on the number of civilians killed in the airstrike, with Wattan News providing the lowest death toll of one killed, whilst @GNNANOW reported three. Sputnik Arabic did not specify how many deaths, but directly referenced “a number of women and children” were killed.
@ShebabAgency, which reported on the residential airstrike, indicated that the incident led to injuries. Ambulances transported the injured to Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital, with a post by user Aida Muhammad noting that “most of the bodies of the martyrs are body parts”. A post from Osama Al-Kahlot also referred to “a number of serious injuries” arriving at the hospital. Wattan News was the only source to specify that one person was injured, in addition to the one death.
While all sources referred to the bombing as occurring in Nusayrat camp, some sources referred to the strike as occurring at a house for the Al-Shafi’i family while others mentioned “the Nusayrat camp market” as the location of the strike.
Where sources identified the belligerent, all sources attributed the strikes to Israeli forces. Sputnik Arabic specified that the strike occurred “without warning”.
