Airwars assessment

Shortly before 4:30 PM on November 6th, 2023, an alleged Israeli aircraft bombed the Siam family house near the Abu Habib roundabout in the Al-Zeitoun neighbourhood in Gaza City, reportedly causing civilian injuries.

Palestinian Information Center was the first to report the incident on its Twitter/X account at 4:30 PM, writing about injuries. Multiple other sources reported the incident on Facebook and Twitter/X, with many of them sharing a video that showed the aftermath of the airstrike from a nearby building, with significant smoke emanating from what is supposed to be the Siam family house.

Nonetheless, the exact number of civilians injured is not specified, and the victims remained unidentified.

Where sources identified the belligerent, all sources attributed the strike to the Israeli military.
