Airwars assessment
At least six people were reportedly killed and a number of others were wounded, on Friday November 10, 2023, when the Mari family home, near the al-Tawbeh mosque and the al-Yemen al-Saeed hospital in the west of the Jabalia camp, in the northern Gaza strip, was allegedly hit by an Israeli military airstrike.
A family member of the victims named Abu Anes, identified the Mari family members killed as Umm al-Majd Mari, her brother Muhammed Mari (also known as Abu al-Baraa’), his wife, Falastin Mari, and their three children. Their daughters, Bisan Mari and Farah Mari, and their son, Elias Mari.
Elias was identified by Abu Anes as a child, however, it was not clear if Bisan and Farah were also children. Therefore, the civilian casualty range for this incident reflected the possibility that Bisan and Farah may or may not have been children at the time of the incident.
In the same post, Abu Anes described Muhammed Mari as “my brother and the light of my eyes”.
Multiple sources, including Shehab Agency, reported that several people had been injured in the incident but did not specify an exact number. Therefore, in line with Airwars’ methodology, the range of civilians injured has been recorded as 2-2.
A video published on YouTube by the news agency Al-Jazeera showed a crowd gathered amidst the rubble of a destroyed house. A witness reported that the house belonged to the Mari family and emphasised that they were civilians. A fire was burning on the ground floor of the destroyed house, and Civil Defense members were filmed trying to put it fireout. Another witness, his hands dusty from lifting rubble, described finding the bodies of three victims, two of which he said were “in bits”.
The Al-Jazeera video was filmed after dark, therefore, it is likely that the incident occurred later in the day.
Where sources identified a belligerent, all sources attributed the strike to the Israeli military. Three sources, including Al-Jazeera, explicitly reported that Israeli Military aircraft caused the bombing.
Due to the scale and urgency of Airwars’ assessment process, all images have been automatically uploaded to each assessment with the graphic filter applied to protect users. We have also included all images identified from the sources, which may also include any imagery of combatants.
The incident occured during the night.
