Airwars Assessment
On Tuesday, March 18, 2025, an alleged Israeli airstrike hit the Arbakan School in Jabalia al-Balad, North Gaza, killing and injuring people. Despite reports of casualties, no precise death count was given by sources. A minimum casualty count has been given by Airwars as at least two deaths and two injuries due to references by multiple sources of casualties in the plural. This toll will be updated should further information come to light.
The incident was reported by local sources, including @PalinfoAr, @Qudsn, and various social media users, one of whom established that the school was housing displaced people.
The first posts about the incident appeared around 1:30 a.m., suggesting it may have happened around this time.
Where sources identified a belligerent, all sources attributed the strike to Israeli forces.
Airwars will update the incident should new information become available.
