Shortly before 8:51 PM on Wednesday, October 31st 2023, six civilians were killed and several civilians, including a girl, were injured in an alleged Israeli strike at the Krizem family’s house located opposite the Al-Fakhoura Clinic, west of Jabalia, in the Gaza Strip.

Multiple posts, including a Twitter post from @ShehabAgency and a news report by Wafa News, detailed that six civilians were killed and there were “several injuries,” although few specific details about the victims injured or killed in this attack were publicly available. Users on Twitter/X, such as @msn_212, expressed their sympathy for @Adnan_al_Kurizm on the loss of six family members, stating, “My deepest condolences to the contestant in #Poet_of_the_Banner, Adnan Kurizm @Adnan_al_Kurizm, for the death of six members of his family in Palestine. May God have mercy on them and forgive them.”

A photo shared by Wafa News illustrated a wounded man carrying a distressed young child who had sustained a severe head injury and had her head bandaged.

Wafa News reports on this attack indicate that this attack was part of a series of strikes against homes in the Gaza Strip early Wednesday morning.

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