Airwars assessment
During the evening of Saturday, October 21, 2023, a 66-year old man Haji Nayef Abdelmajid Abdelqader al-Hilah (Abu Ramez) was killed when the Al-Maghazi Camp in the central Gaza Strip was allegedly bombed by Israeli military.
A Safa correspondent reported on “the targeting of al-Malghazi camp,” but no belligerent was explicitly named. Following the incident, several sources, including Twitter/X users @AIAYASHxs, @YouthGoDigital, and @Aboud, shared the story as reported by the initial Safa report.
Family and friends shared their condolences online acknowledging the loss of Nayef Abdul Majeed al-Hila. Twitter/X user @Romanctic mourned over the loss of his “dear uncle” and asked that “God have mercy and make him abode in Paradise”. Several other posts shared a picture of Nayef, an elderly bearded man in a grey shirt, and shared similar sentiments with Zakaria Abu Mashaykh posting on Facebook, “May God have mercy on you, how good you are and how good your heart is. We will miss your morning and your sweet voice, Uncle Nayef al-Hila is a martyr, God willing.”
The sources did not identify the belligerent, but Airwars has matched the name of the killed civilian with the Palestinian Ministry of Health list of fatalities in Gaza released on October 26th, 2023, which explicitly mentions that names on the list are “victims of the Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip”. Therefore, the strike status of this incident has been graded as a Single Source Claim, and civilian harm status as Fair.
