On October 27th 2023, a home for the Abu al-Fahm family, opposite an UNRWA school in Jabalia Refugee Camp, was allegedly hit by an Israeli airstrike, causing several injuries.

Anas Alsareef posted to Facebook images depicting a heavily damaged building with mass crowds surrounding it, with one showing the crowds parting for ambulances to make their way through.

In a report to Facebook about what incidents had taken place that day in Gaza, Flora Numan Ibrahim Almarsi reported that several injuries occurred during the airstrike, but did not provide a number. Al Hadath and Alarabiya both also reported that “injuries” resulted from the bombing.

According to Lamis Abu Eyada, the Abu al-Fahm home was located on Market Street in Jabalia camp while Alrai Alakhar identified the location as on Al-Wakala Schools Street near Jabalia Market.

Where sources identified the belligerent, all sources attributed the strikes to Israeli forces.
