On October 24th, 2023 it was reported that two civilians were killed and a number of others were injured by a bombing of the Abdel Nabi family home in the Northern Gaza strip, Gaza. No names were included within the reporting.

The only detail on the identity of some of the casualties was Shadi abd alnabi who added the two martyrs were from the Abdel Nabi family which the house which was reportedly struck belonged to.

Shehab Agency, Maher al hijazi and Marwan zolm corroborated on the reported number of casualties and the location of the alleged strike however no further detail of the casualties was given in their accounts.

The account from Marwan zolm included pictures which depict a large crater in the ground in between standing but damaged buildings which appear to be residential. It is unclear if a building stood in the space that the crater now takes up. The photos are taken in the middle of the day with the sun high in the sky which may suggest the reported strike took place in the morning.

Sources did not name the belligerent who carried out the strike, therefore this incident has been graded as contested as per Airwars’ methodology, as the strike could be attributed to either conflict party.
