Airwars Assessment

Last Updated: December 15, 2024

On Thursday, October 19th, 2023, a number of people were reportedly injured in an alleged bombardment in the vicinity of the Katib Wilayat Mosque in Gaza City in the north of the Gaza Strip.

The incident was reported by the Palestinian Press Agency Safa, which alleged that the strike had resulted in “a number of injuries.”

Safa did not explicitly identify the belligerent and there was little other information found through open source on the incident detailing the likely cause of harm, therefore, Airwars graded this as a “weak” incident and listed both parties as potentially responsible for the harm.

The incident was first reported at 21:52 local time.
