Airwars assessment
At least eight people were killed and over 20 were injured by an alleged Israeli airstrike which hit the Dardouna residence in the Jabalia region of northern Gaza on October 15th, 2023.
@ShehabAgency reported that the number of those killed had risen to nine, and that more than 20 had been wounded. A post from Madinat jabalia identified the names of eight of those killed: 42 year old Sherif Dardouna, 19 year old Talal Saleh Dardouna, Saleh Dardouna, Saleh Nidal Dardouna and Souma Muhammad Eid Dardouna. Others, named as 8 year old Rudaina Baha Kanaan, Mahmoud Abu Warda and 45 year old Anam Awad Youssef Al-Batsh were also reported killed. It is unclear the relations of those killed.
Local sources reported six people were brought to the Indonesian hospital, but it appears they were dead on arrival.
A graphic video posted by Felastino kharj shows an elderly man with the bodies of 10 people identified as members of his family, the Dardouna family.
According to Albaboor news, the strike occurred near the Islamic Bank and Madinat jabalia identified the home which was struck as belonging to Sherif Dardouna, adding that there were a number of dead “in front of Jabalia Girls School”.
Where possible, Airwars has matched names with the Palestinian Ministry of Health list of nearly 7000 victims’ names and ID numbers released on October 26th.
Where sources identified the belligerent, all sources attributed the strikes to Israeli forces.
