Airwars Assessment
Around 10:45 in the evening of Tuesday, October 24, 2023, the home of the Musa family in the Tal Al-Sultan neighbourhood in Rafah, south of Gaza Strip, was allegedly bombed, resulting in at least three people killed and one injury.
Safa News reported that three martyrs and a wounded civilian were recovered “as a result of the bombing of the Musa family’s home in the Tal Al-Sultan neighbourhood in Rafah.”
The source for the incident did not attribute the strike to any one belligerent, therefore Airwars has classified the strike status and civilian harm status as ‘contested’ (meaning it could be attributed to either conflict parties), though the civilian harm claim is considered ‘fair’ given multiple corroborating sources.
