Airwars assessment

During the morning of Tuesday, the 17th October 2023, the Israeli Defense Forces allegedly bombed the three-storey residential building belonging to the Abu Salima family, located on First Street in Tal Al-Sultan neighborhood, west of the city of Rafah in the Gaza strip. The strike is reported to have killed at least nine family members, including at least seven children and two women, and injured others.

The airstrike killed a 33-year old mother Lubna Khalil Al-Jamal Abu Salima alongside her five daughters: 10 year old Shatha Bilal Issam Abu Salima, 12 year old Retham Bilal Issam Abu Salima, 9 year old Lana Bilal Issam Abu Salima, 7 year old Maria Bilal Issam Abu Salima, and Habiba Bilal Issam Abu Salima. According to the social media post by Zakariyya Abu Salima, all the girls were children under age of 16. Lubna’s relatives Abdallah Abu Haytham, Mohammed AL Jamal, and Abeer Ismail honoured her memory in social media tributes.

The attack on the Abu Salima family house also took the lives of Lubna’s mother-in-law 67 year old Zainab Ahmed Al-Amoudi Abu Salima and her two granddaughters, 7 year old Janan Attia Khaled Attia and 5 year old Rital Attia Khaled Attia. Canada Kindergarten posted a condolence message on Facebook, writing that “with hearts full of sadness and pain, we mourn the flowers of Kindergarten Canada, the two martyred children / Rital Attia.. Janan Attia (birds in paradise, God willing).” The images of the two young girls in a school uniform were attached to the post. Safe Press Service reported that a man had also been killed in the strike, but this has not been corroborated elsewhere and no identifying information is known.

A Facebook user Fady Rafat posted a video of the immediate aftermath of the strike showing the destroyed building and groups of men trying to pull out victims. Mohammad Ayman Jarbou, Doaa Khaled, and Haitham Ali shared on Facebook images of a large building surrounded by rubble with walls missing and with clouds of smoke arising from it.

Haitham Ali also posted the pictures of rescue efforts and injured people being transported on stretchers. Mohammed Refat Farhat posted a video of a young girl who had been recovered alive, presumably from under the rubble. Gaza News Network reported about the injuries on the site, but the exact number of injured civilians is unknown. Rafah Service Official Account on Facebook shared a video of an injured man on stretchers surrounded by doctors who had just arrived to Kuwaiti hospital.

A social media user Mohamed Hamada commented in a post dedicated to the deceased family members that “My uncle’s wife, Umm Muhammad Abu Salima (Al-Amoudi), passed away. My cousin Bilal’s wife, the entire family, and my cousin’s daughters were subjected to a barbaric bombing of their house in the city of Rafah.” In memory of his family, he also commented “O Lord, bless them with your satisfaction, heal those who remain, and bind our hearts.”

All names but one 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 strike to Israeli military. According to numerous local sources, the attack happened without prior warning.

Airwars assessment

On Tuesday, October 17th 2023, at least one young male civilian was reportedly killed, but the precise details of the incident, including location and time, are not yet known.

The victim was identified by friends and family on social media as a 22-year old man named Youssef Naji Fares al-Hayek.

Family member Haya Bashar wrote a message on Facebook announcing the death of his cousin: “I swear to God, I don’t know how to console, what to say, or how to console. God is sufficient for me, and He is the best disposer of affairs 💔💔💔 The son of my cousin Umm Youssef, ‘Youssef Naji Al-Hayek,’ has passed away to the mercy of God Almighty, joining the convoys of martyrs.”

Facebook user Muaamen shared a photo of himself with Youssef, who is depicted taking a selfie of the two of them wearing a light blue polo shirt and a cap smiling toward the camera.  The comment reads, “with great sorrow and sadness, and with hearts that believe in God’s will and destiny My friend, the martyr Youssef Al-Hayek, has passed away. May God accept you and make your place in heaven.”

Family members and friends shared many images of the late Youssef on social media where he appears as a young and smiling bearded man and was described as a “pure soul.” In an image shared by Hayek Family he is dressed in a white shirt and is captured against the backdrop of the sea.

While local sources did not identify the belligerent, Airwars has matched the name of the civilian 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.” Therefore, the strike status of this incident has been graded as a single source claim. However, based on the multiple sources reporting on the civilian harm, the civilian harm status has been graded as fair.

The location of the strike is unknown.

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

During the afternoon of Tuesday, 17th of October, 2023, at least ten civilians were killed and dozens were injured in an alleged Israeli airstrike on an UNRWA school located in the al-Maghazi refugee camp in the central Gaza Strip where 4,000 people were taking refuge. However, the death toll may be significantly higher as Twitter/X user @alforgannet wrote that “a large number of civilians, most of them children and women, were martyred and injured.”

The school was run by the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees. Al-Ahram news quoted UNRWA as saying, “At least six people were killed this afternoon as a result of the bombing of an UNRWA school in the Maghazi refugee camp in the central region of Gaza.” The source also referenced the statement made by the organization’s Commissioner-General, Philippe Lazzarini, who corroborated that dozens, including UNRWA employees, were injured and that “the school had suffered severe structural damage.” The statement suggested that the casualty numbers were likely to be higher. Urgent From The Rest reported about 10 civilians killed and dozens wounded.

WAFA News Agency and Facebook user “Going Back to Palestine” shared the images showing the aftermath of the deadly strike: the walls of the school with large holes in them, lots of broken furniture and rubble. A graphic video posted by Electronic Al-Nadaa Portal on Facebook showed bodies being carried out of the school.

The sources differed about the nature of the strike. The Palestinian Ministry of Interior and National Security and some local sources said that the school was hit with artillery while UNRWA reported an airstrike.

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

منزلين لعائلتي "أبو النجا" و"ماضي" بحي الجنينة في رفح, Homes of Abu al-Naja (near Al-Zahraa Clinic) and Madhi families (Saddam Street behind Madi station), Al-Geneina Neighbourhood, city of Rafah, the Gaza Strip

Airwars assessment

During the afternoon of Tuesday, October 17th 2023, 20 members of the Abu al-Naja family, including at least eight women, two of whom were pregnant, and at least eight children and four men were reportedly killed and dozens reportedly injured when Israeli aircrafts allegedly struck the homes of the Abu al-Naja and Madhi families located in the Al-Geneina neighbourhood of Rafah in the Gaza Strip. The Madhi family house was situated behind the Madi Petrol Station near Saddam Street was hit first, and the Abu al-Naja family house located near Al-Zahraa Clinic was hit second according to Twitter/X media user @Hamzaalnamla1.

Grandmother, 78 year-old Hajja Sami Farhana Musa Abu al-Naja (Umm Ibrahim) was killed alongside her son-in-law, 62 year-old Sami Suleiman Abu al-Naja and Sami’s children – his two sons 20 year-old Osama Sami Abu al-Naja and 31 year-old  Muhammad Sami Abu al-Naja, and his two daughters 24 year-old Siham Sami Abu al-Naja and 17 year-old Mays Sami Abu al-Naja. Muhammad Sami Abu Al-Naja’s wife Asmaa al-Shaer, who was pregnant, and their daughter one year-old Eileen Muhammad Abu al-Naja also were killed in the attack.

A granddaughter of Farhana Musa Abu al-Naja, 33 year-old Karam Ibrahim Abu, was killed alongside her two sons 9 year-old Sami Ramzi Abu al-Naja and 11 year-old Khaled Ramzi Abu al-Naja. Another woman, 60 year-old Hoda Hussein Abu al-Naja (Umm Muhammad), died in the airstrike alongside her daughter* Lama Hassanein Abu al-Naja.

Ahmed Hassanein Abu al-Naja was also killed alongside his wife Ghadeer Ayman Mahmoud Abu al-Naja. The late Ahmed was mentioned in a Facebook condolence message by Ahmad Husayn as “mujahid” and “an educator of generations and has his military mark.” In a tribute by Al Arab he was called a “martyr hero”, so Airwars has classified Ahmed Hassanein Abu Al-Naja as a militant. His images attached to these Facebook testimonies show a young smiling bearded young man.

A pregnant woman, 27 year-old Nisreen Ahmed Hussein Abu Al-Naja died together with her daughter 2 year-old Habiba Suleiman Sami Abu Al-Naja. Their death was mourned by Nisreen’s brother Ibraheem Abu Alnaja in a Facebook testimony where he shared an image of Habiba.

One more family member, Ghaida Abdel Qader Abu Al-Naja, died alongside her son 10 year-old Suleiman Muhammad Hassanein Abu Al-Naja and her daughter, 4 year-old Hoda Muhammad Hassanein Abu Al-Naja.

Mustafa Hammam Hamdan Abu Naja was also killed in the airstrike.

Initially, Safa News reported that seven civilians had been killed in the attack on the house belonging to Mr. Sami Abu Al-Naja, but later social media posts by the relatives and friends, including the tributes by Abu Al-Naja Family Gathering Official Account, Alzaeem Yousef, Fares Ibrahim and Jawad Abu Naja helped to identify the names of 21 deceased members of Abu al-Naja family. The number and identities of the civilian casualties in the Madhi family is unknown.

The late Haji Sami Suleiman Abu Al-Naja was remembered in a Facebook post by Abbas Al-Am who wrote “May God have mercy on the uncle, the martyr, Sami Abu Naja, Abu Ramzi” and attached an image of a middle-aged bearded man in white clothes.

Sami’s son Osama Sami Abu al-Naja was mentioned in the tributes by Sam Ali and Waseem Mohammad Momar. The late Osama can be seen in the attached images as a young smiling bearded man.

The Ministry of the Interior quoted by multiple news sources announced that a number of people were killed and dozens were injured as a result of these airstrikes. The Palestinian Information Center, as well as a Facebook page named Abu al-Naja Family Gathering Official Account, reported that another house next to them was also struck in the attack.

Photos shared on social media showed the rubble and the destruction in the aftermath of the bombardment, with houses collapsed and a large area of space full of rubble.

A Facebook account Abu al-Naja Family Gathering Official Account shared photos of the bodies of those killed wrapped in sheets being carried through the streets alongside the images of funeral prayers at the cemetery in which one of the families was buried, with a timestamp of 16:22 on the same day as the attack, 17th October, 2023. The post included photos of the rubble of the attacked houses and rescue teams recovering the bodies of those killed from the rubble of the destroyed homes.

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

*When sources described victims killed as “children of” without further information available regarding their age, Airwars categorized those as children in its ranges.

Where possible, Airwars has matched names with the Palestinian Ministry of Health list of nearly 7000 victims’ names, age 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.

Airwars assessment

On the morning of Tuesday, October 17th 2023, an Israeli airstrike allegedly hit a residential building belonging to Abu issa family in Deir al-Balah, a town in the Central Gaza Strip around 14 kilometers south of Gaza City. Local media sources reported that a number of civilians were killed and injured, citing the Ministry of Interior in Gaza. The Palestinian Press Agency SAFA wrote that the victims of the strike were transferred from the place of the strike to Al-Aqsa Hospital in the governorate.

No additional information was available about the number of victims and their identities.

Only one original source reported on the resulting civilian harm from the alleged Israeli airstrike, therefore Airwars has graded the civilian harm status as “weak”.

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 morning.

Airwars assessment

On October 17th 2023, an unknown number of casualties were reported in a possible strike on the family home of Lal Al-Salhi in Block 2 of the Al-Bureij camp in Gaza.

While numerous sources reported the strike on the Al-Salhi home, few details are available regarding the number of those injured or killed. No names of victims are offered, and no sources include photos of the aftermath of the strike.

Most accounts simply state: “Injuries in the bombing of the Al-Salhi family’s house in Block 2 of the Bureij camp.” Only one source, a Facebook post by Khamis, offers something like a numerical figure, stating that there were attempts to remove “dozens of wounded and martyrs” from the rubble of the home, which Airwars has quantified as 12-24 in both the fatality and injury range. Given the lack of specificity in reporting, Airwars has graded the harm status as “weak” until further information comes to light.

Due to none of the accounts directly naming Israel as the belligerent, the strike status has been graded as “contested”. However, a tweet by @quds_yu references the strike on the Al-Salhi home, and mentions, separately, Israeli bombing of Khan Yunis.

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 Tuesday, October 17, 2023, an Israeli airstrike reportedly hit the Baalousha family home in the Al-Saftawi neighborhood of Gaza City. According to available information, between 15 and 16 civilians from two families were killed, including Muhammad Baalousha, a journalist employed by Palestine Today. Media reports, including Anadolu Agency, cited an unspecified number of civilians who were purportedly wounded. A source, Belall Daqqa, reported that the incident took place at dawn.

Reporting on this event on X, Shehab Agency stated, “Journalist at Palestine Today Channel/Gaza Bureau, colleague Muhammad Baalousha (Abu Jamil), was killed in a treacherous bombing that targeted him and his family last night in the Al-Saftawi neighborhood, north of Gaza City.”

In a post on the Palestine Today website, Palestine Today reported the death of Muhammad Baalousha and described him as a journalist as well as an administrative and financial director for the organization.

The victims were identified by multiple sources posting on Facebook, including a family member called Ahmed Baalousha, as 62-year-old Jamil Muhammad Baalousha (Abu Muhammad Baalousha) who was killed alongside his wife, 60-year-old Hoda Ismail Baalousha, their daughter, 34-year-old Pharmacist Dr Iman Jamil Muhammad Baalousha, and their sons, the journalist, 36-year-old Muhammad Jamil Muhammad Baalousha, and 31-year-old Ayman Muhammad Jamil Baalousha. Ayman Muhammad Jamil Baalousha’s wife, 30-year-old Heba Saeed Baalousha, was also killed alongside their daughters eight-year-old Hoda Ayman Baalousha, and five-year-old Kinda Ayman Baalousha, and son, four-year-old Jamil Ayman Baalousha. Muhammad Baalousha’s daughter, 11-year-old Layan Muhammad Baalousha, was also reported as killed and his other daughter, 13-year-old Tala Muhammed Baalousha, was reported as injured by a facebook user, Osama Ismail, however two Facebook posts from MA almaddah and Ahmed Baalousha reported her as having been killed.

Members of a second family were also reportedly killed during this incident. According to currently available information, this included 74-year-old Muhammed Almahlawy, also known as Abu Salah Almahlawy, alongside his son Salah Almahlawy and grandsons 26-year-old Hassan Almahlawy, and 29-year-old Muhammad Almahlawy. 19-year-old Majid Majid Ka’bar was reported as killed in this incident as well and family members made heartfelt tributes to him in online posts. All three men were described in a post by Ismael Z. Almahallawi as Ismael’s cousins.

Posting on Facebook a user named Hussien Isleem, stated, “Abu Muhammad Baalousha, was bombarded. As a result, he and his wife, the moral teacher, the martyr Hoda Hamada, and his son, the journalist who was a Qur’an who walked on the ground, Muhammad Baalousha (Abu Jamil), were martyred. His son, Ayman Baalousha, his wife and 3 children, and his daughter, Dr. Iman Baalousha…. Our neighbors joined them: Abu Salah al-Mahlawi, his son Salah, and his two grandsons Hassan and Muhammad.”

Anadolu Agency reported that, according to eyewitnesses, the incident left many others injured.

A facebook user called Shahd Abu Salma made a tribute to Hoda Ismail Baalousha in a post, saying she had been his primary school teacher and that their families had “joined together in thick and thin”.

Following this incident, journalist Amr Tabash posted numerous photographs on Facebook showing a crowd assembled in proximity to what appears to be a heavily damaged residential building. Posting on X, the Palestinian Information Center shared three photographs showing a crowd gathered around Muhammad Baalousha’s body. Another image of his funeral showed his body dressed in a press bullet-proof vest with a press helmet and wrapped in white funeral shroud.

The Guardian reported Muhammed Baalousha’s death and claimed, by October 17, Muhammed was the 12th journalist to have been reportedly killed by an Israeli airstrike.

UNESCO Director-General, Audrey Azoulay, made a statement on October 30, 2023, stating “I deplore the death of Mohammad Balousha. I reiterate my call for the respect of the UN Security Council Resolution 2222/2015 on the protection of journalists, media professionals and associated personnel as civilians in situations of conflict and call for a full independent investigation into the circumstances of his death.”

Multiple sources, including a family member called Ahmed Baalousha, reported the ages of the victims from the Baalousha family as listed above. However their names could not be matched with the Palestinian Ministry of Health list of names of fatalities published on October 26, 2023. Hassan and Muhammed Almahlawy and Majid Ka’bar were matched with the MoH list and their ages were confirmed.

Where sources identified the belligerent, all sources attributed the strikes to Israeli forces. A post from Shahd abu salma reported that the incident took place 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 around dawn.
