On 29 October 2023, Muhammad Muslim Muhammad Abu Nasira, an 18 year old man, was reportedly killed by a bombing while on his bicycle in the east of Khan Younis.

Safa News reported the incident and many friends and family mourned Muhammad’s death via social media. Multiple family members shared photos of the young man on Facebook.

A Facebook post from his mother, Umm Essam mourned the loss of Muhammad as she asked for help for herself, his father and his brothers in processing the loss.

None of the sources attributed blame for the incident to anyone, so Airwars has classified this as a ‘contested’ incident attributed to both conflict parties until further information comes to light.
