Airwars assessment

On October 9th, 2023 an alleged Israeli airstrike hit the Al-Hashash family home, northwest of Rafah, south of the Gaza strip reportedly killing two people. Quds news reported that others were wounded but did not provide a specific figure. No source named or identified the two killed but they were referred to as “martyrs”.

Salma alhashahsh posted photos to Facebook of the moment the bodies of two killed were recovered from the house while Fawzi posted additional photos of the civil defense crews arriving at the site of the strikes.

Where sources identified a belligerent, all sources attributed the strike 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 local time of the incident is unknown.

Airwars assessment

On the morning of October 12, 2023, an Israeli airstrike allegedly hit a residential building on Jaffa Street, close to the Al-Baraka roundabout in central Deir Al-Balah. Sources, including Shehab News Agency and social media sources, reported 14 injuries resulting from the strike. According to the Facebook user Khaled Abdel Rahman, the home belonged to the Al-Muqayd family.

Among the first to report on this event was Wattan News Agency, which stated at 8:43 local time that “Warplanes targeted a house near Al-Baraka roundabout in the center of Deir Al-Balah.” This was corroborated by Shehab News Agency, Voice of The Nation Radio, and Gaza News Network.

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.

Airwars assessment

On October 12th, 2023, eight civilians were killed, and others injured, in an alleged Israeli airstrike on the Yassin family home near to the Al-Furqan school, south of the Al-Zaytoun neighbourhood in the north of the Gaza Strip. Several different news sources additionally stated that civilians had been wounded as a result of the strike, however an exact number was not specified.

Multiple local sources provided the names of eight of the civilians killed from the Yassin family: Ayman Hassan Yassin (47 years old), Umm Ahmed Yassin, Ahmed Ayman Yassin (22 years old), Mahmoud Ayman Yassin, Moamen Ayman Yassin (17 years old), Imad Ayman Yassin (16 years old), Hassan Ayman Yassin, Baraa Ayman Yassin (nine years old). Hay Zaytoun also identified Mahmoud Yassin “Abu Omar” as among those killed – it is unclear if this is the same Mahmoud as mentioned above.

On the 12th of October, several media outlets reported the airstrike. Shebab Agency posted a statement on X/Twitter that “a house belonging to the Yassin family was targeted near Al-Furqan School, south of Al- Zeytoun neighbourhood and there were martyrs and wounded”.

The Palestinian Information Center released an almost identical statement online, as did the Quds Feed Network, and Wattan News on the outlet’s website. However, Alkofiya News more specifically reported that “aircraft” had struck the Yassin family home, whilst a correspondent for Al-Ghad TV stated that “a number of children” had been killed as a result of the bombing.

Initially, the number of civilians killed in the airstrike was unclear with ‘Palestine Civil Defence’ stating via Facebook, at midday on the 12th October, that “rescue crews went to a house for the Yassin family that had been subjected to Israeli bombing”. Two hours later, the Al-Zaytoun neighbourhood also posted a statement on its community Facebook page that “at least four” of those killed “were recovered in the targeting of a house for the Yassin family”.

During the early evening of the 12th of October, two relatives of the Yassin family, Abu Hassan Yassin and Mohamad Yassin, posted lists containing the eight names of their family members who were reported to have been killed in the strike on Facebook. Mohamad Yassin, in addition to the names of eight members of the Yassin family, posted family photos of those killed.

One Facebook user, Omar Effendi, on the 12th of October, posted a short video showing a body being carried from the rubble of the building which had been destroyed as a result of the strike.

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

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.

This incident may be a duplicated incident with case ISPT0016, which is currently under review.

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 local time of the incident is unknown.

Airwars assessment

On October 10th, 2023, an alleged Israeli airstrike hit the Al-Astal family’s home in Khan Yunis, southern Gaza strip, killing seven civilians and injuring up to 50 others, including 20 children.

Khaled Abdel Salam Abu Walid, a member of the Al-Astal family Facebook group, posted the names of eight people killed in the strike: Hussein Ahmed Omar Mutawa Al-Astal, 38 years old; his first wife Sudfa Suleiman Othman Milad Al-Astal, 38 years old; his second wife Shams Khaled Musa Khalafallah Al-Astal, 25 years old; his son Ahmed Hussein Ahmed Mutawa Al-Astal, 12 years old; his daughter Fadwa Hussein Ahmed Mutawa Al-Astal, 13 years old; his son Suleiman Hussein Ahmed Mutawa Al-Astal, eight years old; his daughter Hazar Hussein Ahmed Mutawa Al-Astal, six years old; Elaf Hussein Ahmed Mutawa Al-Astal, two years old.

Moses KH posted a tribute to Shams Khaled Khalafallah and her daughter Elaf Al-Astal, two years old. Her husband Hussein Ahmed Al-Astal – Abu Ahmed – was described by Moses KH as a “Mujahid”, suggesting he was a militant. There was no further detail on his potential militant activity in any of the public sources but he has not been included by Airwars in the civilian harm toll. Abed Alaziz Alastal mourned the loss of his sister, her husband, and his other wife and children.

One of the civilians killed was six-year-old Hazar Hussein Ahmed Mutawa Al Astal, whose teacher described her as “polite, quiet, and distinguished”. The teacher also posted photos of Hazar in the classroom holding up a sign saying ‘Welcome to the first grade’, playing with modelling clay, and smiling and flashing a thumbs-up to the camera.

Dr. Sami Mohamed, a university professor, posted to his Facebook account that due to the brutality of the attacks upon Gaza, “most of the remains [of the dead] were buried in one grave”. Khaled Abdel Salam Abu Walid wrote that due to the bombing, an entire family was erased from the Gaza civil registry. He, along with many of the Al-Astal family’s relatives and loved ones, expressed his grief and extended his condolences via social media posts.

In addition to the civilians killed in the bombing, there were reports of injuries from multiple sources. A Facebook post from Mohamed Al Astal alleged 50 civilians were injured, including 20 children, while a Facebook post from the Al-Astal family account wished for the wounded to recover, without specifying a number of injuries. Mezan reported that the bombing reduced many homes to rubble, and civil defense teams were still searching through the ruins until at least the next day, looking for survivors.

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.

On Friday, 13 October 2023, five children from the Al-Astal family were killed and at least two others were injured in an alleged Israeli airstrike on the Astal family home opposite the Production Bank in Central Khan Yunis.

Sawaed Gaza reported that there was an “aerial bombardment near the homes of the Astal and Shaat families, opposite the Production Bank in Khan Yunis”, with Safa News reporting “Martyrs, missing persons, and injuries in the bombing”, and Al Jazeera adding “the martyrdom of a Palestinian baby and 4 women.”

Relatives of the family posted to social media that the home was bombed without warning, killing “a number of citizens and a number of injuries.” Nidal Mustafa al-Astal reported that four were killed, along with a “number of wounded.” Nabd al-Qarara reported on the death of two children, Joan Yahya Youssef al-Astal (5), and her younger sister Mian Yahya al-Astal (2 months), adding that their mother and brother were injured. The Astal family posted the names of the other victims – a 16 year old girl named Abeer Mahmoud Ahmed Ziyadi al-Astal, and 1 year old Janan Hamed Nasser al-Astal, adding that the funeral prayer would take place at 4:30 at the Austria Stadium. Sources on social media mourned the deaths, with Sliman al-Astal mentioning the death of a sibling of Janan named Joud Hamed Nasser Zare’ Al-Astal (4) and saying “Birds of paradise/My brother’s daughters, may God have mercy on you and go to heaven, God willing/Janan and Joud”, sharing a picture of the two children, and others sharing heartbreaking images of the infant Mian al-Astal who was killed.

Where sources identified the belligerent, all sources attributed the strikes to Israeli forces. A post from Shawqi Maghnam added that the house was demolished “without warning”.

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

Airwars assessment

On Monday, October 16th 2023, at least 10 civilians were killed and more than 20 were injured in an alleged Israeli airstrike at the al-Ghazali Junction near the Ajjour Bakery in the Sheikh Radwan neighbourhood in Gaza City. According to some sources, the strike hit a three-storey residential building while others reported that it hit a queue of unarmed people who were waiting at the door of the Ajjour Bakery. There were relatively few details on the identities of the victims.

A Twitter/X user Muath Humaid-Gaza (@MuathHumaid) reported “destruction and devastation in the Sheikh Radwan neighborhood” adding that alongside Ajjour bakery dozens of residential units were destroyed. He also added images of severely damaged buildings and rubble. The Palestinian Economic and Nabd News shared images of the heavily damaged 3- storey residential building near the Ajjour Bakery. A Twitter/X user 𝐌𝐚𝐡𝐦𝐨𝐮𝐝 𝐍𝐚𝐬𝐡𝐰𝐚𝐧(@MNashwan90) shared a video showing a devastating aftermath of the strike.

Safa news reported quoting the Ministry of the Interior that there were “injuries in an Israeli bombing at al-Ghazali Junction”.  Abdul Razzaq Al Khatib wrote that “at least 20 citizens have so far suffered from this bombing.” Voice of Palestine Radio stated that “there were more than 10 martyrs”, and a Facebook user Salahaddin updated the death toll to “more than 20.” Other sources added that there were a large number of injuries, with some saying “dozens” were injured, and Rami al-Ghazali alleging that “at least 20 citizens have so far been injured in the bombing.”

A Twitter/X user Waheidi Saad noted that queues of unarmed people were awaiting some of the last remaining stocks of bread and flour in the region when they were attacked. A Facebook user Ahmed not posted an image of a large queue of people in front of the bakery.

Raed Abdul Rahman posted a request for prayers for his friend Ahmed al-Sharif “and his brothers after they were injured” reportedly by the bombing. No further information was available regarding the identity of the victims.

Where sources identified the belligerents, all sources attributed the strikes to Israeli sources.

The local time of the incident is unknown.

Airwars assessment

Around 8:42 PM on Wednesday, October 18th 2023, between 13 and 16 members of the Abu Jasser family, including at least four children and five women, were killed in an alleged Israeli airstrike on their home located in the al-Qasaib neighborhood of Jabalia camp in the northern Gaza Strip.

Shehab Agency and Voice of Palestine Radio reported on the bombing, stating that “13 martyrs were recovered,” and adding that the home of the neighboring Lal Shaheen family was “severely damaged” in the strike, with Palestine Now stating there were still people under the rubble.

Social media tributes by Ibrahim Abu Jaser and other relatives helped to identify the names of the 16 family members killed in the strike.

Husam Abu Jasser Abu Mohammed was killed alongside his wife Umm Mohammed Abu Jasser, their sons Jihad Husam Abu Jasser and a 28-year old Mohammed Husam Abu Jasser as well as their daughters, a 16-year old Hala Husam Abu Jasser, a 24-year old Aya Husam Abu Jasser and a 23-year old Ala’a Husam Abu Jasser.

Among the killed victims were also Aya’s husband Ismail Miqdad, Alaa’s husband 29-year old Abdelrahman Sameer Diab Hijaz, Abdeulrahman’s mother, his sister, and his brother. Mohammed’s wife 26-year old Dalia Abu Rakba and their children – a son Husam Mohammed Husam Abu Jasser, a daughter Fatna Mohammed Husam Abu Jasser and an infant son Basil Mohammed Husan Abu Jasser were among those killed.

A Facebook user Shadi Jaser wrote that they received the news about the deaths in Jasser family “with hearts filled with sadness and wracked with pain.” A Twitter/X user @GhadirAkram shared her shock and desperation in a post: “My heart hurts.. it will fall out of its place.. Abu Jasser’s family moved to the side of their Lord, martyrs, God willing…”

Al Jazeera Turkey shared a video of Turks in the state of Kutahya holding prayers for the killed members of the family and offering condolences to Abdullah Abu Jaser, a surviving member of the family who studies at the Dumlu Banar University in the area.

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 strike to Israeli forces. Multiple on social media stated that the airstrike came 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.

Airwars assessment

On Monday, October 16th 2023, an alleged airstrike by Israeli forces on the home of the Zaher (Dhaher) family located east of Jabalia camp in the Gaza Strip reportedly killed at least eight family members, including two women and five children, and injured a number of others.

Facebook testimonies by Fatima Jaber and Amir Tariq Daher helped to ascertain the identities of the victims. Abdulaziz Muhammad Zaher was killed alongside his wife Umm Muhammad Hassan Zaher (Mansour) and their six children: a 22-year old daughter Dr. Maysaa Abdulaziz Muhammad Zaher, a 13-year old daughter Malak Abdulaziz Muhammad Zaher, an 11-year old daughter Mennat Allah Abdulaziz Muhammad Zaher, a 4-year old son Mahmoud Abdulaziz Muhammad Zaher, a 10-year old son Hassan Abdulaziz Muhammad Zaher, and a 1-year old son Anas Abdulaziz Muhammad Zaher.

Shehab agency, Jalazone Media Center and local social media users posted photographs of the heavy destruction and rubble left from the Zaher family house. A family relative Mustafa Zahir shared images of a funeral prayer for the family where dead bodies wrapped in white cloth stained with blood can be seen. A post by Facebook user Amir Tariq Daher contained a graphic image of a dead infant.

A tweet from @EekadFacts reported that a number of wounded resulted from the strike without specifying how many.

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 local time of the incident is unknown.
