Airwars assessment
On November 2, 2023, a number of people were injured in an alleged Israeli airstrike, using a kamikaze drone, that hit a group of people near Terence al-Baba in the Al-Zawayda area of Gaza. The exact number and names of those harmed are currently unavailable.
On the morning of November 2, the Palestinian Press Agency (@SafaPS) reported “injuries in the bombing of a group of citizens near Terence al-Baba in the Al-Zawayda 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, in addition to the consideration that the Israeli forces are the only belligerent in the conflict with drone capabilities. Therefore, based on the repeated mentions of “targeted” and “drones”, this incident has been graded as a “likely strike”.
This incident was updated on April 10, 2025 as an incorrect assessment was uploaded and has been remedied.
The local time of the incident is unknown.
