Airwars assessment
Shortly before 8:00 PM on Monday, October 23rd, 2023, an Israeli aircraft allegedly bombed the Abu Taqiyya family home located in the Al Shuhada area, west of the Jabalia camp, killing at least one civilian, paramedic Jihad Abu Taqiyya, and injuring four of his children: Esraa, Mariam, Muhammed, and Abood.
Shehab Agency was the first to report on the incident, sharing images of the rescue effort amidst the rubble around the severely damaged building. Safa News quoted the Ministry of the Interior in Gaza saying that a number of killed and wounded were recovered.
Several news sources, including Al Jazeera, reported that several injured civilians were recovered from under the rubble and shared images of the house that appeared destroyed. According to Quds News, there were still wounded under the rubble the morning following the alleged attack. Facebook user Mohammed Ahmad posted several videos where many neighbors can be seen taking part in the rescue efforts on site.
@ShehabAgency and Watan reported the death of Jihad Abu Taqiyya on October 31st as a result of the injuries sustained in the bombing.
Umm Al-Abd Asma, Jihad’s wife, mourned her husband’s death in a deeply felt Facebook post, where she also described her experience on the night of the alleged strike: “We were sitting safely with our children in our homes. We found the house falling on us and was destroyed and turned into ashes. The house that I lived in for only two years after 16 years of torment, poverty, hunger, and deprivation.”
She also shared details about the severe injuries of her children: “My daughter, Israa, had her leg amputated, my son Muhammad, his legs are platinum. Maryam still has not recovered from the operations. She came back and injured her legs, and every day she sleeps and wakes up screaming in pain😭.”
A few days later she shared a video of her very young injured child on another post, where she wrote: “My son was in intensive care in Al-Shifa [hospital] for 13 days, and they took him out when they stormed Al-Shifa, and then they transferred him to Al-Rantisi [hospital], and Al-Rantisi was destroyed, while I and my son were there. He and I miraculously got out, and then I strayed from there to the Indonesian [hospital], and they also stormed the Indonesian, and we got out miraculously, and we were transferred to Khan Yunis, Nasser Hospital, and the situation was very difficult, all night long, with fire belts and terrible bombing.”
Airwars was not able to reconcile Jihad Abu Taqiyya’s name with the Palestinian Ministry of Health list of names, released October 26th 2023.
Where sources identified the belligerent, all sources attributed the strikes to Israeli forces.
