Airwars Assessment
On 1 November 2023, a number of people were reportedly killed and injured when an alleged Israeli airstrike hit the home of the Ghabayen family near Birkat Abu Rashid in the middle of the Jabalia refugee camp.
Shehab News Agency reported that most of the casualties from the strike were displaced persons and that they were taken to the Indonesian Hospital following the alleged Israeli airstrike. Shehab News also shared images of heavily injured people, including a young boy who cannot have been more than 10 years old, arriving at the hospital.
Sources reported that the airstrike had hit a home belonging to the Ghabayen family, causing a fire to break out near to schools and next to Jabalia camp’s Police Station where thousands of displaced people were sheltering.
Photos taken by Anas al-Sharif were shared widely, and showed a very large area that was totally flattened amongst tightly packed buildings. These images also showed rescue workers searching under the rubble of the collapsed homes and buildings.
All sources reported “a number” of killed and injured people in the alleged Israeli airstrike but none specified an exact number. Within photos shared, at least four people are visibly injured. There were no further details on the specific identities of the victims – this report will be updated if and when more information emerges.
Where sources identified the belligerent, all sources attributed the strike to the Israeli Military.
