Airwars Assessment
Five civilians were reportedly killed after an alleged Israeli airstrike on a house in the Wadi Al Gaza Area, central Gaza Strip, on October 22, 2023.
The incident was reported as breaking news on Twitter/X by @ShehabAgency but no details were provided, including the identity of the victims. Similar information was shared through several social media accounts and the website wattan.net, that places the alleged strike at 10:25 am. However, the absence of detailed information and the similarity of the claims seem to point to a single source.
Given the similarity and lack of detail of the information reported, Airwars has graded this incident as “single source claim”.
