Airwars assessment
On 2 November 2023 Hayat Abdel Fattah Abu Lashin (Umm Ibrahim) and her son, Ibrahim Muhammad Abu Tabikh (Abu Muhammad) were reportedly killed when an alleged Israeli strike hit a car transporting displaced people from northern Gaza to the south.
Ibrahim Abu Tabikh was the only son of Hayat Abu Lashin. Both were reportedly killed in the attack.
A Facebook post from Ghassan Abu Lashin reported that the attack had happened while a car was taking people from the north of Gaza to the south.
Some posts from family and friends suggest that Ibrahim’s children were travelling in the car at the time of the attack, with one Facebook post from Abo Nemer originally suggesting that the children were missing. However, a post from Abu Hussam Abu Lashin wrote “we thank God who saved the children,” suggesting that they survived the alleged Israeli attack.
Ibrahim’s cousins Amjad Abu Tabikh, Souzan Ramzi, and Abu Hussam Abu Lashin, Hayat’s grandchildren Hamada Saleh and Haya Abu Amra, and Ibrahim’s neighbour and friend Dawoud M. Maqdad all posted heartfelt condolence messages to Ibrahim and Hayat, and Dawoud posted his last conversation with Ibrahim. Mohammed Abu Ahmed Alhalees posted an image of what appear to be Ibrahim, his mother Hayat, and five children ranging in age from toddlers to teenagers, possibly the children of Ibrahim mentioned by multiple sources.
A Facebook post from Haya Abu Amra attributed the airstrike to Israel. Hayat’s name was also matched with the Palestinian Ministry of Health (MoH) lists, which include national ID numbers. Since October 26, 2023 the MoH has released six lists, along with an additional list of medical professionals, which was released on September 15, 2024. In regard to this incident, the name was matched to the second Palestinian Ministry of Health List of Fatalities in Gaza list, which was released on January 7, 2024.
