Airwars Assessment
On Tuesday, October 17th, 2023, six civilians, including a baby, were reportedly injured and two were killed as a result of an alleged Israeli airstrike on a residential apartment in Al-Nada Building in Al-Maghazi Camp, in the central Gaza strip.
Local sources, including Palestine News, reported that there were a number of people killed and injured. Ismail Awad’s Facebook post stated that there were six injuries, including a baby, and two deaths, but did not provide names of the victims. Twitter/X user @Alaqsavoice Brk wrote that a number of casualties had arrived at Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital.
Hana Al-Maghazi Page included an image of the building that was hit by the strike.
Only one source identified the belligerent as the Israeli military, therefore, Airwars qualified the strike as a “single source claim”.
