Airwars Assessment

Last Updated: July 7, 2025

Shortly before 6:29 AM on November 9, 2023, a house in the Al-Tuffah neighbourhood, east of Gaza City, was bombed in an alleged Israeli airstrike. Multiple news sources, including Al Jazeera and Safa Palestinian Press Agency, reported injuries as a result of the strike without specifying the exact injury toll.

Twitter/X account of Al Arabiya was the first to report the incident at 6:29 AM. A photo posted later by this media outlet showed people gathered around a completely destroyed building in ruins with the ground covered with debris and concrete chunks.

There were no details on the victims publicly available. This assessment will be updated if more information emerges.

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