Airwars assessment
On October 24th 2023, an alleged Israeli strike hit the house of the Natat family, near Rabaa Al-Adawiya School within the vicinity of Ali Mosque, west of Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip, injuring at least two people based on images provided by local sources.
Multiple local sources reported that “injuries” resulted from the strike on the Natat family home, but did not provide an exact toll of the injuries. The account @Shehabagency posted to X/ Twitter images of an injured boy receiving attention from medical professionals as well as an injured man being wheeled into hospital on a stretcher. An image of a third man is also shared, but due to him being covered by white cloth, it is not possible to affirm that this is a separate person to the other two people. The caption alleges that the people pictured had been injured during an airstrike on the Natat family home and were being transferred to Kuwait Hospital for medical treatment. However, as these images were included in another incident which occurred near Ali Mosque on the same day, it is unclear if the injuries occurred in this incident.
Al-Sharq News also posted about the reported incident on Facebook, sharing images taken by Firas Abu Sharkh which further depict casualties entering the Kuwait Hospital.
Where sources identified the belligerent, all sources attributed the strikes to Israeli forces.
The local time of the incident is unknown.
