Shortly before 3:51pm on Monday, October 23rd 2023, a house of the Al-Shandaghli family located in the Jabalia Al Nazla area, north of the Gaza Strip, was hit by an alleged Israeli airstrike killing at least seven identified civilians, including two women and three children, and injuring up to 11 other civilians.

According to Nabd News, a number of the killed civilians were taken to the Indonesian Hospital after the incident. A post by Twitter/X user @general in Gaza reported that there were 10 injuries, whilst @Mahmoud a.z stated that 11 people were injured in the incident.

A video shared by Shehab Agency and Facebook user Kasem Alahmadi showed the arrival of an injured man to the hospital with the stretcher being covered in blood.

The following day, on October 24th, a post on the Nasr Family page on Facebook listed those who had perished in the incident as: 43-year old Hossam Rabie Qarqiz Nasr (Abu Al-Abd), Amal Abdul Karim Qarqiz Nasr (Umm Anas), Hani Rabie Hani Qarqiz Nasr (a child), Muhanna Anas Muhanna Qarqaz Nasr (a child), Shams Rabie Hani Qarqoz Nasr (a child), Younes Shaaban Younes Embarek, and Ehtimal Abdul Karim Al-Shandaghli Nasr (Umm Rabie). It is not clear whether these family members were among those who were initially injured in the incident and subsequently succumbed to their injuries.

Following initial reports, Aziz Alshandagli posted on Facebook, “Praise be to God, my beloved sister, Umm Rabie, is a martyr, and we still do not know who was martyred with her. This is God’s grace upon us. I prostrated, thank God, my love, for choosing you as a martyr.” He shared a picture with his deceased sister, a smiling woman in black clothes and green hijab in the backdrop of the Egyptian sphynx.

Airwars has matched one of the victims’ names with the Palestinian Ministry of Health list of nearly 7000 victims’ names and ID numbers released on October 26th.

Where sources identified the belligerent, all sources attributed the strikes to Israeli forces.
