Airwars assessment

On November 6th, 2023, civilians were reported killed and injured as a result of an alleged artillery strike on residential apartments in the Abu Aida Tower, located west of Jabalia camp in the northern Gaza Strip.

Shehab News Agency posted on Twitter/X about the incident, sharing photographs that depicted the aftermath. One image showed a deceased individual being carried on a stretcher by medical personnel, while other photos captured the injured being evacuated from the scene.

The Palestinian Information Center (@PalinfoAr) also reported on the strike, sharing additional images of victims being transported in an ambulance and receiving medical attention at a hospital.

Other media outlets, including Alhadath News (@Alhadath_news1), Alghadeer TV (@alghadeer_tv), and Ertikaz News (@Ertikaznews), also posted about the attack. They shared the same photographs but did not provide further details regarding the number of casualties or the extent of damage. Overall, photographs shared post-strike show at least six people injured. While no source specified a number of deceased, the usage of the plural “martys” points to the possibility that more than one person was killed. Twitter/X user @YouthGoDigital, however, alleged one person only had been killed, a claim that was then repeated by @PlusQuds.

Where sources attributed the strike to a belligerent, all sources blamed Israeli forces.

The local time of the incident is unknown.
