Shortly before 6:10 am on Sunday, 29th October, 2023, an alleged Israeli airstrike hit the Zuwaidi (Zweidi) family home in Beit Lahia in the northern Gaza Strip, injuring at least four civilians, including two children.

Several media and news outlets reported the incident, citing several casualties. Shehab Agency and other news outlets shared photos depicting the incident’s aftermath. Medical professionals were shown rushing wounded and distressed civilians into the hospital. One image depicted a man being carried into the hospital on a stretcher; one of his legs was severely wounded and bloodied and appeared to have been severed by an explosive blast. Another image depicted a young boy, with blood splattered on his face and on his green sports shirt, being lifted onto a hospital bed by a medic.

In another image, a distressed young girl, wearing a pink t-shirt and plaits, and a middle-aged man walked with one another through the hospital car park. The man holds his hand up to his ear, with his bandaged and bloodied arm. The comment read “A number of casualties were reported in the targeting of a house for the Zweidi family in the northern Gaza Strip.”

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