Airwars assessment

On 9 November 2023, one person was killed and several injured in an alleged Israeli airstrike on the home of the al-Hajri family on al-Ishrin Street in Nuseirat Refugee Camp of central Gaza.

Al Jazeera and multiple others news sources reported the one death and numerous injuries as a result of the alleged attack. No details of names or precise numbers of injuries were given.

According to @Hamzaalnamla1 on Twitter/X, the occupants of the al-Hajri family home had already evacuated at the time of the attack but a passer by was reportedly killed in the airstrike.

Al-Mayadeen media wrote in a Facebook post that one of their correspondents was nearby at the time of the attack and reported the airstrike. Multiple sources claimed Israeli warplanes attacked the area on al-Ishrin street.

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