Airwars assessment

On December 2, 2024, a girl was killed and another person was injured by tank fire allegedly from the Israeli military which hit Halima al-Sadia School, in Jabalia Al-Nazla in the north of the Gaza strip.

Multiple local sources, including @qudsn, reported that a girl was killed when Israeli tanks fired on Halima al-Sadia School.

Most sources attributed the attack to an Israeli military operation with tanks, with some sources mentioning that the tanks shot “at” the school. A Facebook post from Waleed Abo Mashaikha stated that the attack was in fact a drone strike and it killed one person and injured another – the report of an injury was not found among other local sources, but was also referred to as an “update” by the source.

The local time of the incident is unknown.
