Airwars assessment
During the night of Tuesday, October 17th 2023, at least 21 civilians were killed and a number of others were injured in an alleged Israeli airstrike on the home of the al-Jabri family in the Emirat neighborhood, Khan Yunis camp.
CNN News and Safa quoted the Ministry of Interior in Gaza, which said that the bodies of 21 civilians killed in the bombing had arrived at the Nasser Hospital, with a number of injuries that weren’t specified. CNN approached the IDF for a response, and the IDF international spokesperson, Lt. Col. Jonathan Conricus, said he was “not aware of any strikes specifically in those areas but they could have happened.”
A source on social media, Sufyan Akkad, shared images of the severely damaged building, rescue efforts, the injured trapped beneath the rubble, and bodies of those killed in shrouds. Shehab Agency shared the images of “explosive barrels dropped […] on the al Lamdani and al Jabri families in Khan Yunis camp.” Misbar News “learned from eyewitnesses that some of the targeted people were displaced from the northern Gaza Strip and Gaza City.” Sources did not provide any names or details of the victims, or the number of injuries.
Where sources identified the belligerents, all sources attributed the strikes to Israeli forces.
The local time of the incident is unknown.
