Shortly before 10 a.m. on Tuesday, March 18, 2025, an alleged Israeli strike killed six civilians when it struck a car near the Tal al-Sultan neighbourhood, to the west of Rafah in southern Gaza. The identities of the deceased have not been shared by any sources, and sources have not indicated the type of strike.
The Twitter/X account @AlarabyTV reported the incident at 10:10 a.m., marking the information as “urgent.”
The initial claim was posted by @AlarabyTV; all subsequent sources repeated this information. Due to the circularity of reportage, the strike status of the incident has been categorised as a “single source claim,” and the civilian harm status as “weak.”
