Shortly before 2:15pm on Sunday, October 29th 2023, one civilian was reportedly killed and another injured in an alleged Israeli airstrike near the Zayed Roundabout in Northern Gaza, close to the Indonesian Hospital and Jabalya.

Shehab News Agency reported the attack, claiming a reconnaissance aircraft had “targeted a group of civilians near to the roundabout,” resulting in the one injured civilian and one killed civilian being taken to the Indonesian Hospital. This information was shared widely by others.

Given the circular nature of the reporting for this incident, with most sources repeating the news from Shehab Agency, it has been classified as a ‘single source claim’ until further information comes to light.

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