Airwars assessment
On November 2nd 2023, a number of people were injured in an alleged Israeli airstrike, using a drone that hit a group of people near Terence al-Baba in the al-Zawaida area of Gaza. The names of those harmed was not found online, and an exact number of casualties was not given. In line with Airwars’ methodology, references to injuries in the plural has been quantified as at least two.
On the morning of November 2nd, the Palestinian Press Agency (@SafaPS) reported “injuries in the bombing of a group of citizens near Terence al-Baba in the Al-Zawaida area, west of the Central Governorate.” According to @AlGhadTV, “a drone targeted” the group. Other sources including Twitter/X user @Ta9788 and Facebook users such as Alzawaida, Eh S Mahmoud, Fadi Sh, Ajel Palastine, Samah.basil, and Press Abeer described the aircraft as “a suicide plane.”
Though none of the sources explicitly identified Israeli forces as the belligerent, Airwars’ guidelines consider the term “targeted” (as used in this context) as a highly likely indication that these sources are referring to a strike carried out by the Israeli military. Therefore, this incident has been graded as a “likely strike”.
The local time of the incident is unknown.
