Shortly before 8:16 AM on Friday, October 27, 2023, a house for the Nasr family in Jabalia al-Nazla neighbourhood was struck in an alleged Israeli airstrike, killing at least 18 identified civilians and injuring over 20.

A correspondent of Gazan Shehab news agency was the first to report the incident at 8:16 AM, citing four casualties and over 20 injuries. At 12:45 PM, Safa news reported that 10 of those killed were taken to the Indonesian Hospital in the northern Gaza Strip.

Nabd News shared a video from the place of the incident showing rescue efforts amidst the thick dust in the air and an injured man with blood on his face and hand.

Based on social media tributes by family relatives, Airwars researchers have identified the names and identities of 18 individuals who were killed in the incident.

An elderly man Haji Abdel Karim Muhammad Nasr (Abu Louay) was killed alongside his wife Souad Saleh Abu Warda Nasr (Umm Louay).

A son of Abdel Karim and Souad, Muhammad Abdel Karim Nasr was killed along with his son Hamza Muhammad Abdel Karim Nasr. A daughter of Abdel Karim and Souad, Nepal Abdul Karim Muhammad Nasr lost her life along with the lives of her three sons, Yahya Muhammad Tayseer Al-Fahham, Jalal Muhammad Tayseer Al-Fahham, and Ahmed Muhammad Tayseer Al-Fahham. A second daughter of Abdel Karim and Souad, Samah Abdul Karim Muhammad Nasr, was also listed among the killed.

Two daughters of the eldest son of Abdel Karim and Souad, Louay, were also killed in the deadly incident – 16-year-old Remas Louay Abdel Karim Nasr and Souad Louay Abdel Karim Nasr whose age is unknown.

The social media tribute by Abdullah Zuiter listed Noha Hassan Marouf Nasr (wife of Samir Rafiq) and her grandson as killed in the strike. Zuiter also identified 16-year-old girl Zainab Munther Subhi Nasr, who was pregnant when she was killed, 16-year-old girl Fatima Al-Zahraa Abdullah Siddiq Nasr and the daughter of Muhammad Hassan Marouf. A man or boy called Ibn Shadi Ibn Samir Qarqaz was also reported as killed.

Sila Ahmed Adnan Nasr was reported as killed by Abdullah Zuiter and Mohammed Mahmoud on Facebook. Sadiq Mohammed Naser reported in a Facebook post that her brother, Mustafa Ahmed Adnan Nasr was injured and had both of his legs amputated.

Sadiq Mohammed Naser reported in a Facebook post “with hearts squeezed by loss and pain” that there were “17 martyrs” in total.

Al Jazeera reported in a post on Twitter/X that neighbours were unable to call ambulances and civil defenseto the site of the strike due to Israel allegedly “cutting off communications”, and  that neighbours conducted the rescue mission instead.

Where possible, names have been matched with the Palestinian Ministry of Health list of fatalities in Gaza released on October 26th, 2023

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