Airwars assessment
On October 15th an alleged Israeli airstrike killed four civilians identified as Sami Al Khudari (60 years old), his son Nour Al Khudari (19 years old), Hamad Al Khudari, and Mujahed al Khudari and injured many others while they were at their home on Al Nizar street, Al Shujaiya neighborhood in east Gaza.
Reports referenced Nour Al Khudari’s brother, Dr. Fadi Al Khudari, who was working in Al Shifa hospital when he received the news of the death of his brother and father. Majed Al Khudari, a relative of Sami Al Khudari and Nour Al Khudari, reported that 12 members of the wider Khudari family had now been killed in the war. In content posted by Jamal al Khudari and Twitter user @x_blq_h_, footage shows that Dr. Fadi Al Khudari is devastated by the news of the deaths of his father and brother.
A post from Abdul Rahman Majid Al-Khudri also identified Hamed Al-Khudari and Mujahid Al-Khudari as among those killed, along with images of Hamed and Mujahid who appear to be young men.
@ShehabAgency, which reported on the bombing of the Al Khudari family house as well as on another civilian house in the same publication, indicated that these incidents led to “injuries” – without further details on the exact number of civilians wounded, their identity, or which of the locations the injuries occurred. A post from Aatef Sokkar, a neighbor and dear friend of the Al Khudari family who lived only 40 meters from the strike location, reported that “many injuries” occurred.
Where possible, names have been matched with the Palestinian Ministry of Health list of fatalities in Gaza released on October 26th, 2023.
Where sources identified the belligerent, all sources attributed the strikes to Israeli forces.
