Shortly before 6:48 AM on Thursday, October 26, 2023, at least one man was killed and a number of other civilians were injured in an alleged Israeli airstrike on the Abu al-Jadaran (Al-Jidyan) roundabout area of Beit Lahia, in the northern Gaza Strip.

At 7:13 am, the Palestinian Press Agency (Safa.ps) reported “a number of injuries as a result of the [Israeli military’s] bombing of the Abu al-Jadaran roundabout area in the Beit Lahia project in northern Gaza.” A video posted on Facebook by Maher al-Hijazi shows two men with severe injuries arriving at a hospital on stretchers, with the time being noted as “6:48 am.” Al-Jazeera Palestine shared the same video of the injured men on Twitter.

Multiple sources, including Khabar24 News and AsharqNewsPAL reported that “a martyr” had resulted from the alleged strike and shared photos of a man on a stretcher with a sheet over his face – it is unclear if this is the same man pictured by Maher al-Hijazi and Al-Jazeera on the stretcher without a sheet over his face. The identity of the victim was not publicly available.

Where sources identified the belligerent, all the sources attributed the strike to the Israeli military.
