Airwars assessment

On Wednesday, October 18th 2023, 24 civilians were reported injured in an alleged Israeli airstrike on the home of the Abu Amira family next to a pump on al-Alami street, Jabalia Camp, Gaza strip.

Safa news reported that the home was bombed “on the heads of its residents” and that there were “a number of injured people”, with sources on local and social media including the Ministry of the Interior in Gaza corroborating the same.

Rabab Abu Hatab posted that “there were injuries” from the strike, while the North Gaza District Police stated that 24 injured people were transported away from the site of the strike, “their condition described as moderate to good.” Sources did not specify any further details about the civilians injured.
