Last Updated: December 15, 2024

First reported in the morning of Tuesday, October 24th 2023, a house belonging to the Jomaa family near the labour offices, in Jabalia Al-Balad, in the northern Gaza Strip was hit by an alleged Israeli airstrike, injuring a number of people and leaving others trapped beneath the rubble. The precise number of victims remains unknown and the victims have not yet been identified.

At 9:19 AM, Safa News, quoting the Ministry of the Interior, reported “injuries and people trapped under the rubble.”

The Facebook account for the city of Jabalia Al-Thawra later reported that there were injuries and deaths; the precise number remains unconfirmed, and no other source referenced deaths.

Due to the circular nature of the reporting, with the same claims often repeated, Airwars has currently graded this as a single-source incident, and will await further information regarding casualties. Estimates have been provided, as per Airwars’ methodology.
