Airwars assessment

Shortly before 11:20 PM on Monday, November 6th 2023, the ground floor of a residential building near Kamal Adwan Hospital in the northern Gaza Strip was bombed in an alleged Israeli attack. Several people were injured in the incident with local sources reporting at least one civilian death.

Shehab Agency was the first to report the incident on Twitter/X at 11:20 PM, writing about one death and several injuries resulting from a “targeting”. Other Twitter/X accounts, including @PalinfoAr, reiterated this information. Almanar News reported there were several deaths rather than one.

Multiple sources noted that the building was “targeted”, indirectly referring to the Israeli forces, with Almanar News directly attributing responsibility for the attack to the Israeli military. Consequently, the strike status has been graded as “likely” with the civilian harm being graded “fair”.

The incident occured during the night.
