Between four and five civilians, including two women, were injured in alleged Israeli strikes east of Qurum, in the town of Jabalia, on May 11th 2021.

According to Mezan News, “at approximately 18:00 on Tuesday, 11/5/2021, the occupation warplanes bombed the Abu al-Khair yard, east of Qurum, in the town of Jabalia, in the northern Gaza governorate, injuring five citizens, including two women, and causing damage to nearby houses. For its part, medical sources in the Indonesian Hospital described the injuries of the injured as moderate to minor.”

A tweet from @timaodehh reported that the strikes resulted in four injuries.

@hamdi87353181 identified Dr. Imad Abu Al-Khair as being injured in the bombing “after he was hit by shrapnel from a missile in the vicinity of his house.” A post from Mohey.zayed added that Dr. Al-Khair is the Head of the Department of Microbiology at Al-Azhar University.

Shehab Agency tweeted that “A 29-year-old citizen was injured by shrapnel in the abdomen and hand as a result of Israeli shelling targeting a land belonging to the Abu al-Khair family”. It is unclear if they are also referring to the doctor.

The strikes were attributed to Israel by all of the sources that reported on who was responsible.
