Three people were reported to have been killed by an alleged Israeli airstrike on the Abdel Salam residence in the Al Mughraqa area of the central Gaza Strip on October 18th, 2023.

While several sources reporting that the home of the Abdel Salem family had been struck, identification details have not been publicly released, and it is unknown whether those killed were members of the family or other, unrelated, civilians.

Airwars has graded this as a single source incident due to only one original source providing details on the incident.
