A civilian was reported to have been killed and dozens of civilians were injured in an alleged Israeli airstrike on the Abu Rukba family home in the Shaboura Camp in Rafah, Gaza Strip, shortly before 6:26 AM on Tuesday, October 24th, 2023.
Initially, Al-Aqsa Voice Radio reported that an unexploded Israeli missile had caused minor injuries among the residents of the allegedly struck family home. Later, Safa News and journalist Adel Zourob claimed that a person had died as a result of the same incident, but the identity of the victim was not publicly reported. They were left, Adel Zourob wrote, in “body parts.” Twitter/X user @Nsro_ reported about “dozens” of injured civilians.
Where sources identified the belligerent, all sources attributed the strike to the Israeli military.
The incident occured at approximately 6:00 am local time.
