Airwars assessment

On the evening of October 8th 2023, 12 people were reported injured, including a baby, when an alleged Israeli strike hit Yarmouk Mosque in the Gaza Strip. The mosque was reported to be completely destroyed.

A tweet from @ShehabAgency stated that 12 injured people arrived at the Al-Shifa Medical complex, while other sources mentioned that there were casualties without noting an exact toll. Images posted by various sources show a baby and an elderly woman injured near the mosque.

Felesteen News spoke to a witness named Bilal Salama (38 years old) who described what happened: “The bombing was sudden, without warning, we felt that the house was exploding, and after the smoke and dust cleared, the vision began to become clearer. I found my daughter bleeding from the impact of glass flying on her head. We all went down to check on my father and mother, who live on the ground floor and whose door opens directly onto the mosque. As you can see, we could not enter from here, so we went from the back and made holes in the walls, and we began removing the rubble until we reached my father and mother and some of the children, grandchildren, who were stuck under the stones that fell on them from the mosque.” Bilal Salama’s father and mother were taken to the hospital for treatment of their injuries.

Felesteen News spoke to another witness named Hajj Jihad Jarour whose bulldozer, which is how he made his livelihood, was destroyed by the bombing: “We were sitting in the basement of the house, and suddenly we heard the bombing and the house shook and smoke filled the place. As you can see, everything is gone, the house and the tools. May God compensate us.”

The Palestinian Civil Defense reported on their teams dealing with the evacuation of citizens and the transfer of casualties from the surrounding area. Another local source specified that Ansar Central Ambulance Station evacuated the injured from the bombing.

The mosque was located near Ramzoun al-Ghafri on Al-Jalaa Street.

According to Felesteen News, the minaret at Yarmouk Mosque was silenced for the first time since the mosque was established in 1974. Felesteen News stated that “the bombing affected the area’s water lines and infrastructure” and “many of the houses surrounding the mosque are no longer fit for living”.

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 in the evening.

Airwars assessment

On October 8th 2023, a civilian home in the Nuseirat camp in the central Gaza Strip was reportedly hit by an Israeli airstrike killing between four and five civilians from the same family, including at least two children, and wounding between 21 and 22 others.

According to Al Mezan Centre for Human Rights, the Israeli airstrike occurred at approximately 4.30pm resulting in the destruction of the four storey Al-Assar family home and three neighboring houses, including the house belonging to the Al-Naqla family in Camp 5 in Al-Nuseirat. Al Mezan reported the death toll as four civilians killed, including two children and a woman.

The four victims killed have been identified by all sources as a family; the mother Shuruq al-Naqla (30 years old), her husband Mohammed al-Naqla (31 years old) and their two sons, Omar al-Naqla (three or four years old) and Yousef al-Naqla (five or six years old). On Facebook Bassem al- Naqla, Shuruq’s brother, reported that Mariam, their third child, was also killed in the attack. However, Amnesty International reported that their two year – old daughter Mariam and their three-year old nephew Abdel Karim were injured and were taken to hospital whereupon they were quickly released due to overcrowding. Around 20 others were also reportedly injured in the attack.

Ismail al-Naqla, Mohammed’s brother, told Amnesty International that their next-door neighbor received a warning call from the Israeli military around 10:30am so Ismail and Mohammad and their families left the home. However, since the bombing hadn’t occurred by 3:30pm, the al-Naqla family had quickly returned home to collect essential items when the bomb struck. They hoped it would be safe to return home as 5 hours had elapsed without a bomb since their neighbors received the call to evacuate earlier that morning. Ismail described to Amnesty “seeing part of his five-year-old nephew Yousef’s brain “outside of his head” and said that three-year-old Omar’s body could not be recovered from under the rubble until the next day.”

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

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

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 4:30 pm local time.

Airwars assessment

On Tuesday October 10th 2023, at least seven civilians, including three journalists, were killed, and at least two civilians were injured in an alleged Israeli airstrike on the Babel building in al Mouasasat Street (Institution Street) close to the port in Gaza City in the Gaza Strip.

According to a Facebook post by Saeleem Hosny, a “group of journalists and a group of neighbors were killed, and many people were injured.” A neighbour, Abdul Abu Malik, wrote on Facebook that the “number of martyrs and wounded rose” and that some people were still missing after the strike. More than a month later, on November 30, 2023, a Twitter/X user Magda Gad wrote that “ten people were killed in the attack on the building, including three journalists, referring to the testimony of Bilal Abu Hatzira who rescued bodies from the ruins that night.

Muhammad Haboush posted the names of five victims of the attack belonging to three different families on Facebook, adding that “with hearts that believe in God’s will and destiny, I extend my deepest condolences and sympathy to my neighbors.” Islam Mahfouz Khalaf, 42, was killed together with his younger brother Muhammed Mahfouz Khalaf, 28. Ibrahim, the father-in-law of the late Islam, revealed that Islam was survived by his pregnant wife Rola, their daughter Taghreed and son Majd, posting on social media: “I searched among the vocabulary for words to say to my pregnant daughter, Rola, and her eldest daughter, Taghreed, and to her son, Majd, Sons of Islam, but I lost the vocabulary.. I lost the words.. I lost the letters.. I was trapped. Tears fell.”

Majdy Anan wrote in a Facebook testimony: “My cousin’s children were martyred today, Islam Khalaf and Muhammad Khalaf”, sharing the images of the two young men, one in a brown jacket and other in a Palestinian scarf.  Raed M Khalaf also paid a tribute to the two deceased brothers who were his cousins.

Among the victims killed in the attack were Brigadier General Hani Issa Hasouna (Abu Hassam) and his nephew, an engineer Shadi Suhail Hassouna. The Haboush Family shared a testimony on Facebook, extending  “deepest condolences and sympathy to the honorable Hassouna family on the martyrdom of their sons”.

Hani Issa Hasouna was remembered in Facebook posts by his nephew Nemer Alrubaei and by his friend Abdul Qadir Idris. The latter shared an image of a grey-haired man in glasses standing in front of microphones. Abu Qadir Idris also shared in his post that Hani Hassouna was a member of the Prisoner’s Committee of the National and Islamic forces, and a Leader of the Popular Front General Command. Based on this information Airwars identified the late Hani Issa Hasouna as a militant.

Hani’s nephew, engineer Shadi Suhail Hassouna appeared in the images as a smiling middle-aged man in front of the mosque. According to Ali Rezeq Nijim, Hani’s son Hossam Hassouna was injured in the bombing. A Facebook post from Yahya Al Sayed identified his father as one of the injured, “after he was hit with shrapnel in the shoulder”.

One more victim of the attack was a young 27 year old man, Raafat al-Hato. His death was also mourned on social media, with his brother and friend Mohammed Abo Qass sharing that Raafat “had a beautiful smile and a kind heart.” Indeed the late Raafat appears on the images as a smiling athletic bearded man. Mohandessin Coffee Shop wrote in its Facebook tribute that “with all verses of glory, pride and pride, we mourn our martyr, the martyr of the Battle of Al-Aqsa Flood, the heroic martyr / Raafat Tawfiq Al-Hato.”

On 10 October, the PJS said in a statement that three Palestinian journalists  – Said Al-Tawil, Director of Al-Khamisa News Agency, photojournalist Mohammed Sobboh (35), and photographer Hisham Al-Nawahjh (27) for Khabar News Agency in Gaza, were all killed by an Israeli airstrike that hit a residential building near Gaza City’s fishing port. Alhurra News reported that the three journalists were standing dozens of meters away from the building, to cover an expected Israeli airstrike on a residential building. It was reported that one of the residents had received a phone call from the Israeli army requesting its evacuation in preparation for its destruction, but according to journalists who witnessed the incident, Israeli warplanes struck the building where the journalists stopped to document the bombing.

Many local sources reported that the three journalists had been killed, but a few sources were initially conflicted if two were still in intensive care. @ehajjar and Journalist Khaled Al Qadi stated that journalist Hisham Al-Nawajeh was seriously injured and “still in the operating room”, and @Shehab Agency tweeted a statement from the Government Media office in Gaza, “we mourn the two fellow journalists, Muhammad Sobh and Saeed Al- Taweel, who were killed as a result of being targeted by [Israeli] aircraft while covering the evacuation of one of the buildings threatened by bombing in western Gaza, and we wish recovery to our colleague Hisham Al-Nawajah, who was with them and who is currently receiving treatment”. Whereas Hadeel El Tibi reported that journalist Saeed Al-Taweel was injured and “the news is conflicting between his martyrdom and that he is still in intensive care”. However, images were later posted of the funeral for Saeed and the Ministry of Health recorded Hisham’s death.

Saleem Hosny reported that while residents in the area were warned of a bombing on Burj Hajji, the bombing of the Babel building in the same street came without warning, “in a surprise move.” Facebook user Rushdi Aleeb wrote in a post that the Babel building was “razed to the ground”, sharing the pain of his loss: “My house, my life, and my money were completely destroyed.” He shared apocalyptic pictures and a video of the rubble left from what used to be the Babel building.

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. Numerous local sources indicated that the attack happened without a prior 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 October 13th 2023, an alleged Israeli strike on the Dawas family’s house in Beit Lahia, Gaza Strip killed four civilians belonging to the Dawas family, including a woman and two children.

The deceased family members were remembered in numerous social media tributes. A 37-year old Mounir Harb Rizq Dawas was killed together with his wife Nida Abdulkarim Hasan Safi and their children, a 2-year old son Mohammed Monir Harb Dawas and a 1-year-old daughter Sewar Monir Dawas.

Mousa Dawwas mourned the death of Mounir, his wife and children in a Facebook post, attaching a picture of a young bearded man near a swimming pool. Tagreed Dawwas, Nader Salah, Diya Dawas, and Ahmad Dawwas also posted their tributes on Facebook, sharing the images of the late Mounir.

A relative Ramzi Dawwas mentioned the four named above who were killed along with other members of their family killed later, with the address Beit Lahia, entrance to Ezbet Dawas, west of Abbas Kilani roundabout, Al-Shaima Street. It is unclear if this address applies to this incident of another strike affecting the Dawas family.

Airwars has matched the names of some of the civilians killed with the Palestinian Ministry of Health list of fatalities in Gaza released on October 26th, 2023, which explicitly mentions that names on the list are “victims of the Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip”. Taken with one other source attributing the strike to Israel, Airwars therefore has graded this strike as ‘likely’ an Israeli action.

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 17th 2023, an alleged Israeli airstrike hit the al-Jazzar family house in the al-Tanour area, in east Rafah, in the southern Gaza Strip, killing up to 12 people, including 11 members of the al-Jazzar family, and injuring 12 others, including three children.

63 year old Zaki Mahmoud al-Jazzar was killed along with his six sons: 38 year old Ahmed Zaki al-Jazzar, 38 year old Mahmoud Zaki al-Jazzar, 27 year old Aziz Zaki al-Jazzar, Jihad Zaki al-Jazzar, 25 year old Saad Zaki al-Jazzar and 39 year old Bilal Zaki al-Jazzar, with his 28 year old wife Noura, and their three children. A friend of the al-Jazzar family, 28 year old Amjad Abu Shalouf was also killed.

Eman al-Jazzar, a relative of the family posted on Facebook that her aunt’s house “was bombed and its residents were bombed, some of them are martyrs, some are wounded, and many are still under the rubble”. Eman al-Jazzar also said one of those killed, Saad Zaki al-Jazzar, had just gotten married in July. Mohanad Obaid also posted a memorial for the al-Jazzar family, saying to Mahmoud Zaki al-Jazzar “Your father is a hero and you are the man of the house after him”.

Abeer Mohamad posted: “Suddenly, there is no such thing as an uncle, cousins, ancestors, and grandchildren, all of them gone, and the house and the memories of the house are gone.” The Facebook post from Abeer Mohamad also stated “May God have mercy on you, Noura, and forgive you. You went and took your husband and your children with you. That’s it. We’ll stop sitting together and drinking coffee on the porch while the kids were at school. You went and the kids went.” This may be referring to Bilal Zaki al-Jazzar, his wife, and his children, which may indicate that his wife’s name was Noura.

Initial reports stated that there were three to four people killed and a number injured or missing. A Facebook post by Mohanad Obaid added that nine members of the al-Jazzar family had been killed in the alleged strike. Numerous other reports state at least six to nine civilians killed as more information on the incident became clear.

Shehab Agency initially reported on 17th October that the number of injured was 12 and the number of martyred as three. However, on 18th October, Safa Agency along with numerous other sources stated more than 10 civilians were killed, and a number were still missing.

In a video that was widely circulated on social media, a young child named Muhammad Abu Luli is seen shaking “after he woke up to an Israeli bombing that targeted the Al-Jazzar family’s home in his neighborhood in the city of Rafah”. Images show at least three different children being treated for their injuries, including the child Muhammad Abu Luli.

Where sources identified the belligerent, all sources attributed the strikes 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.

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.

During the night of Monday, On October 16, 2023, at least one civilian, a woman, was killed and between two to four civilians were injured, including children, after an Israeli aircraft reportedly bombed an apartment building in the Jasmine Tower located west of Abu Mazen roundabout in the Rimal neighborhood of Gaza city.

The Arabic-language Facebook page New World Reserve shared a photograph of a high-rise building burning on its upper floors. While further publicly available details are scarce, numerous social media users shared similar accounts of this event. In its reporting, the news aggregator Nabd stated that Israeli forces “bombed an apartment in the Jasmine Tower, west of Abu Mazen roundabout in Gaza City.”

Posting on Facebook, a neighbor of the deceased named Bassel Aklouk stated that this alleged incident “led to the martyrdom of our neighbor, Umm Yusuf al-Aklouk, may God have mercy on her, and the wounding of her husband and our beloved neighbor, Abu Yusuf, and his children”, sharing a video of the rubble and heavily damaged building.

Bahaa-Udin Asmar, who claimed he was also a resident of the building and witnessed the strike, posted on Facebook: “An unforgettable night. Death was right in front of me when I was in the Jasmine Tower while it was being bombed,” adding that he was injured in the foot during the bombing.

Airwars was not able to match the victim’s name with the Palestinian Ministry of Health list of fatalities in Gaza released on October 26th, 2023, potentially because none of the sources provided Umm Yusuf’s first name.

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