Airwars assessment
On Friday October 20th, 2023, three people were reportedly killed and others injured as a result of an alleged Israeli strike on Block 12 in Al Bureij camp, Gaza Strip. Many local sources reported that Atta Nazir Al-Nashash, his brother Nael Nazir Al-Nashash and his son Nazir Atta Nazir Al-Nashash were killed in a bombing that struck the house belonging to the Nashash family.
Nazir was reported to be a footballer. A post from Wesam Aboshamala included images of the destroyed building, and a post from Muhammad Nour Abu Al-Nour said “it is with great sadness and sorrow that the Board of Directors of Al-Bureij Services Club, its players and fans mourn the player of the first football team / Nazir Atta Al-Nashash, who was killed as a result of a bombing that targeted his home.” Palestine Sport TV also released the statement, “the Olympic Committee mourned the player Nazeer Atta, offering its condolences to the martyr’s family.” A post from Abu Fadi described Atta Al-Nashash as “a good, helpful man is a person who never tires of helping people”.
Many sources including Safa News, @Gazanow111 and @ibrahimzalhajalso also reported that there were deaths and injuries as a result of the bombing, but did not state a specific figure, while some sources mentioned “people under the rubble” of the home.
Airwars was not able to find the victims’ names among the Palestinian Ministry of Health list of names of dead released on October 26th 2023.
When sources identified a belligerent, all sources attributed the strike to Israeli forces.
