Airwars assessment

On the 22nd of October 2023, an alleged Israeli projectile hit the house of the al-Saidi family in the Saudi district, west of Rafah, reportedly killing one civilian man and causing injuries to others.

Moataz Abu Talekh was reported as the young man killed in several posts. Multiple Facebook posts include photos alongside tributes to him, including Abu Khaled Al-Turbani who posted a condolence message for his “brother and beloved” Moataz. He was taken to al-Kuwaiti hospital but did not survive, according to Voice of the Nation Radio.

Multiple posts also report injuries, but do not name or number individuals injured. No further details were available regarding the current condition of these civilians.

Airwars was not able to match Moataz Abu Talekh’s name with the Palestinian Ministry of Health list of nearly 7000 victims’ names and ID numbers released on October 26th.

All sources that identify a belligerent report that the belligerent was the Israeli military. One of these sources, Ma’an News Agency, alleges that the incident was an airstrike.

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.

Airwars assessment

On October 7th, 2023 an alleged Israeli strike reportedly hit the courtyard of the Indonesian Hospital in Jabalia, in Beit Lahia at 2:30 pm. Multiple sources reported that 67 year old Hosni Salha was killed when shrapnel hit him and Radio al-Zaitounia also alleged that his son Yousra Salha was also killed. An unknown number of people were reported injured, with some sources referring to “dozens” of injured including employees and patients. The hospital’s oxygen station was also damaged.

Yementdy, Wafa and other local media reported that Hosni Salha worked at the hospital. The Palestinian Centre for Human Rights, identified him as “Yousra Hosni Salha“, 67 year-old, and did not mention the victim’s son.

Local sources reported that “others” and “dozens” were injured in the incident, without quantifying how many, so Airwars has used the range 12-24 for injuries.

Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) released a statement following the attack, adding that the Indonesian Hospital had been supported by MSF since 2021.

Multiple sources, including the Ministry of Health, alleged that Israeli aircrafts struck the hospital, while the Palestinian Center for Human Rights referred to the attack as a “missile shell.” This was the first of two incidents which occurred on the same day at the Indonesian Hospital.

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 at approximately 2:30 pm local time.

Airwars assessment

On October 8th 2023, Israeli military aircraft were reported to have carried out an airstrike on the Al-Najjar family home in the Al-Fakhoura area of the Jabalia refugee camp in north Gaza, killing an unknown number of people and injuring at least four people.

The Shehab Agency tweeted that there were “injuries as the [Israeli] aircraft targeted the Al-Najjar family’s home in the Al-Fakhoura area in the Jabalia refugee camp, north of the Gaza Strip”. The Jabalia refugee camp itself confirmed the attack on its Facebook page: “Targeting a house for the Al-Najjar family in the Al-Fakhoura area in the Jabalia camp”. One local journalist, Faton Ayman, specifically stated that there were “four injuries in the Kamal Adwan Hospital”.   

@WaellodaOda, @i_07070 and Rania Al Khodary all posted statements which were identical to that of a Safa correspondent who reported that there had been “[killed] and injured in the bombing of the Al-Najjar family’s home and the Hassouna family’s home near Al-Fakhoura School in Jabalia”.  Several other social media accounts indicated that there had been people killed as well as people injured at the camp, whilst additionally stating that the strike had occurred in proximity to a school.

While the exact number of casualties was not reported, in line with Airwars’ methodology the minimum range has been assessed as two to account for references to multiple deaths.

The previous day, on October 7, another alleged Israeli strike was reported on the Al-Najjar family home, killing Hajj Hamdan Al-Najjar, an official of the Ministry of the Interior along with his wife, son and granddaughter. This incident has been assessed separately by Airwars in case number ISPT0002.

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.

Airwars assessment

During the morning of Thursday, October 12th 2023, between 12 and 14 civilians, including at least five women and four children, were killed, and at least 40 civilians, including a number of children, were injured in an alleged Israeli airstrike on two homes in the Tal al-Sultan area of Rafah that belonged to the Baroud and Abu Shaar families.

Mahmud Ziad (@Mahmoud_aser19) reported on Twitter/X that a “number of children were injured”, and posted images of wounded children of varying ages being treated in a hospital. Sources did not specify the number of casualties from the Baroud family.

A Twitter/X user HadaratMedia posted the images of the buildings that were hit with smoke rising behind them, while a Facebook user AbuSha3ar1 shared the images of the rubble and a wounded child.

Tributes on social media mostly listed the names of 12 members of the Abu Shaar family all killed in the incident, though some social media sources, like Alarabia Palestine Facebook account, reported that 14 members of the Abu Shaar family were killed. From the names and ages reported on social media, it is likely that members of the Abu Shaar family were killed across three generations. Shehab agency reported that another 40 individuals were wounded.

A Facebook user AbuSha3ar1 shared the images of the funeral of the Abu Shaar family members at the Abu Youssef Al-Najjar Hospital. In another post, he shared the images of some killed family members, including two young boys.

Ziad Salama Abu Shaar (Abu Muhammad), 49, was named on social media as the owner of the residence; he was reported killed together with his two daughters, 22-year old Abeer Ziad Salama Abu Shaar and Nada Ziad Salama Abu Shaar and his two sons, 13-year old Muhammad Ziyad Salama Abu Shaar and 10-year old Mahmoud Ziyad Salama Abu Shaar. Ziad Shaar is seen on an image attached to a Facebook post by adelzourob73 as a middle-aged man in a driver’s seat. Rawan R Abu Taha referred to him as a “good neigbour” in a heartfelt Facebook testimony.

44-year old Ziad Abdullah Abu Shaar was also killed together with his children, 17-year old Muhammad Ziyad Abdullah Abu Shaar and 15-year old daughter Islam Ziyad Abdullah Abu Shaar. Mohannad Abo Fadi wrote in a Facebook testimony that the late Ziad Abu Shaar “had a kind heart”.

Among the victims was also a 78-year old woman, Hajja Janadi Ibrahim Ahmed Abu Shaar (Umm Khaled), a 46-year old woman Maysar Salama Abu Shaar, and Sarah Yasser Abu Shaar who was referred to as a “judge” in a Facebook post by alaa.abuhair.

Additionally, the Facebook tributes by Mohannad Abo Fadi and Rawan R Abu Taha mentioned Dahoud Abu Luli among the killed civilians, attaching a picture of a young man.

Where possible, names have been matched with the Palestinian Ministry of Health list of fatalities in Gaza released on October 26th, 2023.

Where sources identified the belligerent, all sources attributed the strikes to Israeli forces.

According to the Shehab Agency correspondent, the incident occurred in the morning, before 10:30 AM local time.

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.

Airwars assessment

On the afternoon of Tuesday, October 10th, 2023, two Palestinian children were reportedly killed and several more civilians were injured as a result of an alleged strike carried out by the Israeli military on two homes located west of Khan Yunis in the Gaza Strip.

A video by Arab World News Agency shows the damaged homes completely collapsed, and Palestinian citizens undertaking a search and rescue of potentially trapped civilians.

The killing of the two children was reported by local citizen (@sondosmohammad_) on Twitter/X and further corroborated by journalist Journalist Abbas Mazen and by multiple local news outlets such as the Palestinian News Agency and PalinfoAr. Arab World News Agency added that “several other people” were also injured but didn’t specify how many. There were no details on the identity of the victims.

Airwars has graded this incident as “single source claim” due to only one source attributing the bombing to Israeli forces. However, multiple sources reported on the resulting civilian harm, therefore the civilian harm has been graded as “fair”.

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 in the afternoon.

Airwars assessment

In the early morning hours of Friday, October 13, 2023, an alleged Israeli airstrike on the four-storey house of the Nofal family situated in Al-Sawarha area of the Gaza Strip’s Nuseirat refugee camp killed at least 27 and up to 30 civilian family members, including at least six women, among them one woman pregnant with a baby girl, at least 16 children, one of whom was a 7-day old infant, in addition to dozens of others injured. The family relative Yamen Nofal wrote in a Facebook tribute that around 30 family members of Dr. Amin Mohamed Abdullah Nofal were killed after the dawn prayer.

The news outlet Russia Today reported that numerous injuries resulted from the strike, citing a correspondent in Gaza Mustafa Al-Bayed who described “dozens dead and injured at the site”. Photos of the aftermath of the strike show widespread destruction, the home totally collapsed and surrounded by piles of rubble.

The State of Palestine’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs commented on the bombing in a Facebook post, calling it a “massacre against the Nofal family in Gaza”. It also shared the pictures of the destroyed family house and of the list of victims in Arabic.

Facebook account Nusayrat camp reported about 27 killed members of the Nofal family, having attached a picture of some of the victims. A tribute by Intisar Nofal on Facebook shared the images of the destroyed Nofal family house, pictures of the young children killed in the attack, including a smiling girl in a pink dress, and the list of the victims in Arabic language.

A Facebook testimony by the niece of Dr. Amin Nofal, Yamen Nofal, helped to identify at least 27 names of the family members, but it is evident that the death toll was higher as the identities of some children were not provided. Taking into account the children who were mentioned among the victims without their names, the death toll may reach up to 34 civilians. Alongside the images of some family members, Yamen Nofal also shared the graphic images of the dead bodies of the small children having been killed in the attack as well as an image showing a row of bodies in white bags lined up with at least four appearing to contain small children.

A 62-year old head of the family Dr. Amin Mohamed Abdullah Nofal was killed alongside his 60-year old wife Dr. Tammam Yousef Khalil Nofal, their sons Moatasem Amin Nofal, Maysara Amin Nofal, and Moamen Amin Nofal, daughters-in-law and grandchildren. Yamen Nofal called the late Dr. Amin Nofal “the dean” of the family and showed a photo of a mid-aged man sitting at a desk with a button-up shirt and black tie.

The eldest son 35-year old Moatasem Amin Nofal lost his life alongside the lives of his wife, a 34-year old Maryam Muhammad Nofal and their four children: a 14-year old son Ahmed Moatasem Nofal, an 11-year old son Ali Moatasem Nofal, a 1-year old daughter Fatima Moatasem Nofal and a 6-year old daughter Amna Moatasem Nofal. Yamen Nofal shared an image of Moatasem Nofal where he appears as a young man in a palestinian scarf.

A 32-year old Moamen Amin Nofal was killed alongside his wife Enas Nofal and their four children, including his 6-year old son Islam Moamen Nofa and his 4-year old son Mahmoud Moamen Nofal.

A youngest son of Dr. Ameen Nofal, a 29-year old Maysara Amin Muhammad Nofal was killed alongside his wife Shaima Nofal and their children.

Ameen and Tammam’s other son Mustafa Amin Nofal survived the attack, but lost his 33-year old wife Nabila Nasr Nofal and their four children: a 4-year old daughter Tamam Mustafa Amin Nofal, a 14-year old son Muhammad Mustafa Amin Nofal, a 12-year old son Amr Mustafa Amin Nofal and a 11-year old son Ali Mustafa Amin Nofal.

Ameen and Tammam’s other son Muhammad Amin Nofal lost his three sons in the deadly attack: a 16-year old Amin Muhammad Nofal, an 11-year old Hamza Muhammad Nofal, and an infant Ahmed Muhammad Nofal. One post by Yamen commemorating Amin Muhammad Nofal shows a young man posing for a photo with what appears to be a gun, raising the question of whether he was connected to militant activity. However, this is the only photo showing him with a gun, and does not necessarily mean he was a member of an armed group.

Among the victims killed in the strike mentioned in the post by Yamen Nofal were also her cousin, a 41-year old Mahmoud Nasr Nofal and his four sons, of which only the name of an 11-year old Ayoub Mahmoud Nofal was provided. Nofal also mentioned a 1-year old Mayas Moaz Nofal, a daughter of Moaz Amin Nofal, as having been killed.

In another Facebook post Yamen Nofal mourns the death of one more Nofal family member, a young man Nasser who is seen in the attached image in a black leather jacket.

The deadly attack also killed a seven-day-old child Nabilah Nofal, dubbed “the youngest martyr in Gaza” by Donya news. She was reportedly born the day the war began on October 7th. The Palestine’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs shared a video showing the shrouded body of Nabilah alongside her mother also killed in the strike. The MFA commented on the video: “The Nofal family massacre: The mother is always safety in life, and in Gaza she is also safety, even in death! The video is of an infant, one of the youngest martyrs in the Gaza Strip, being placed next to her martyr mother as they rose with the rest of the family as the Israeli war machine bombed their home over their heads.” It is uncle

According to social media reports, the strike also took the life of a pregnant woman. A Facebook user Abu Hazin wrote a heartbreaking tribute from the perspective of the infant Nabila and a fetus of the pregnant woman, attaching the graphic images of the fetus and of the body of Nabila wrapped in a green cloth: “They promised me there [would be] air after the fluids of the womb, but I found nothing but dust…I knew that we were born in the place where no one cares.”

Where possible, names have been matched with the Palestinian Ministry of Health list of fatalities in Gaza released on October 26th, 2023.

Where sources identified the belligerent, all sources attributed the strikes to Israeli forces.

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 around dawn.

Airwars assessment

During the afternoon of October 15th 2023, the Al-Jamal family home in Al-Nuseirat refugee camp was struck by an alleged Israeli aerial bombardment, killing 10 members across three generations and injuring an unknown number of others.

Grandfather 64 year old Dr. Azmi Al Jamal and his wife 60 year old Hanan Al Jamal were killed alongside their son, Mustafa Azmi Al Jamal (33 years old), and their two daughters, Soundous Azmi Al Jamal (27 years old) and Souad Azmi Al Jamal (36 years old). The incident, which happened on Sunday afternoon according to Ayman Al-Jamal (Dr. Azmi’s nephew), also killed Souad’s two sons, Omar (Karam) Abo Zayed and Jana Abo Zayed (12), as well as three more grandchildren of Azmi and Hanan, named Nada Al Jamal (6) and Mustafa Al Jamal (1). Yaser M Awad, a cousin of Dr. Azmi, added that Ola Houssam Al Jamal (30 years old), the daughter of their maternal uncle Hossam Al Jamal, was also killed. Their residence was situated at Al-Zuhur Junction, opposite to the Al-Zohour Pharmacy, in the Nuseirat refugee camp located in the central Gaza Strip.

The cousins of Dr. Azmi Al Jamal, Yaser M. Awad and Abo Moeen Damo, as well as his niece, Zainab Abdel Salam, extended their condolences and sympathy to the family on Facebook. Zainab described Soundous as her “friend, childhood companion, and school and university classmate”, while another acquaintance, named Asma Rabh, used the endearing terms “lifelong companion” and “my soul” to refer to Souad Azmi Al Jamal after her passing. Dr. Azmi’s brother, Essam Al Jamal, stated that “the rest of the people in the house, including my brothers and their children, sustained varying injuries” on a Facebook post from the same day and @Alsharawmo mentioned “injuries”. However, it is unknown how many people were injured. According to Mohammed Adel, the Al-Jamal family was “deleted from the Palestinian civil registry” meaning that all members of the family had been killed.

Where possible, Airwars has matched names with the Palestinian Ministry of Health list of nearly 7000 victims’ names and ID numbers released on October 26th.

Where sources identified the belligerent, all sources attributed the strikes to Israeli forces. According to a testimony posted on Facebook by Khalil Al-Ghafari, the house was “destroyed without warning”.

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 in the afternoon.
