Airwars assessment

Two people were reportedly killed on October 25th 2023, when an alleged Israeli airstrike hit the home of the Al-Tatri family near Aviation Junction in Gaza City. A number of others were reportedly injured in the attack.

Shehab News Agency wrote that two people were killed, one who was found under the rubble of the home, and that others were injured when an Israeli aircraft attacked the home of the Al-Tatri family. This source was shared widely across other platforms.

Due to the circular nature of the reporting, with most sources repeating similar information, Airwars has graded this incident as a weak, single-source claim, though will update as further information comes to light.

The local time of the incident is unknown.
