On October 29, 2023, between five and seven people were killed and up to four others were injured in an alleged Israeli airstrike on the Odeh family home in the center of the Jabalia refugee camp, located in the northern Gaza Strip.

61 year-old Hassan Hussein Mohammed Odeh and his wife, 53 year-old Nabila Nesbah Yassin Shaqoura Odeh, were killed, along with their daughter, 22 year-old Asmaa Hassan Hussein Odeh, their son, 28 year-old Muhammad Hassan Hussein Odeh, and Muhammad’s wife, Latifa Odeh. Another son of Hassan and Nabila named Ibrahim Hassan Odeh was injured. According to multiple sources, seven people were killed in the alleged Israeli strike; however, the names of the other victims have not yet been made available.

Hassan Odeh’s sister-in-law and her daughters were also reportedly killed but were not named by any sources.

On the morning of October 29, 2023, Shehab Agency tweeted three photos of four different injured people, including at least three children, and reported “the arrival of two martyrs and a number of injuries as a result of the warplanes’ targeting of the Odeh family’s home in the middle of the Jabalia refugee camp in the northern Gaza Strip.”

Soon after, the same source reported the death of seven people as a result of an alleged Israeli strike on the Odeh family home and shared a photo of seven shrouded bodies wrapped. One of the victims is a child.

Najah FM shared a similar image of the seven shrouded bodies. Other sources, including @AddiyarNews and  @AlMayadeenLive, also reported the news of “martyrs and wounded in the [Israeli] bombing of the Odeh family home in Jabalia, north of the Gaza Strip” that day.

Following the alleged Israeli strike, loved ones shared their grief online. On Facebook, Sami Zaqout, the husband of one of Hassan and Nabila’s other daughters, Islam, announced “my wife’s family are all martyrs.”

Mariam Hassan wrote “may God accept them in heaven…my father, mother, sister, brother and wife are in the hospitality of the Most Gracious.”

Mariam Shaqura posted “Minutes away from the death of our loved ones, I swear in the morning I spoke to you, cousin and sister Nabila Odeh and her family, and they are martyrs.” Nariman Shaqura grieved “The martyrdom of Mrs. Nabila Shaqura “Odeh” and 8 members of her family (her husband, son, and children).”

Mahmoud Abu Znada shared a photo on Facebook of two hands wearing wedding rings and reports “the martyrdom of the fiancée of the young man, Khaled Muhammad Zaqout, Asmaa Odeh, noting that their wedding was scheduled for 2-11.”

A friend of Asmaa’s, Sara Tafish, also mourned the bride-to-be, writing in a post “Our friend Asmaa Odeh … On the Thursday before the war, you and I sat for more than two hours in [our] free time and talked. We talked a lot. I did not know that it was the last time we would talk, and you asked me what you could do with your wedding, where you would go and where you would get things. We went to the lecture and said we would see each other next week. Then the war came and we would never see you again. …We were excited for our graduation year, but unfortunately I graduated early. May God have mercy on you, the sweetest heart, a bride in heaven.”

On Twitter/X, @Mohammed_awed12 shared a smiling photo with Ibrahim Odeh, writing  “I received news that the family of my friend and colleague Ibrahim Odeh was all martyred in an Israeli bombing of the northern Gaza area. Ibrahim is the only survivor of the family, but he suffered a severe head injury. He is now in the intensive care unit. Pray for Ibrahim, as he desperately needs your prayers, and let the world know that the massacres have not stopped until this moment.”

Where possible, names have been reconciled with published Palestinian Ministry of Health lists. With thanks to journalist Alexandre Horn from CheckNews for identifying relevant sources, and Data Tech for Palestine for centralising the datasets.

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

The local time of the incident is unknown.
